A rent increase negotiation letter is a polite way to talk to your landlord or property manager about a rent hike. The letter should clearly mention the current rent, the proposed increase, and your request to reconsider or negotiate. Keep the language respectful and calm. Do not use harsh words or ignore important facts like the rent amount or how long you have lived at the property. It’s better to include reasons such as loyalty, good maintenance, or current market trends to support your request.
