RE: Notice of rent increase
Dear Name of Tenant(s):
I want to take a moment and let you know how much I value both of you as tenants. It is not easy to find tenants that pay their rent on time and also take care of the property so well. Unfortunately, I have experienced some expenses with my rental properties that are prompting the need for a rental increase.
Your lease will officially be over on [DATE]. I would like for you to continue as my tenants, but an increase of $75 will be applied to the new lease term.
The rent is currently $950 and under the terms of the new lease agreement, will need increase to $1,025. Should you wish to go month to month or to sign a new agreement, this new amount would be required.
Again, I thank you for taking care of my property and being the model tenants that you are. I hope that you will continue to remain a tenant at [ADDRESS]. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at [555-209-5934].
Sincerely,

RE: Notice of rent increase
Dear Name of Tenant:
This letter is to formally inform you that starting on [DATE], the monthly rent for the house you currently occupy at the above address will be raised $50 from [AMOUNT] to [AMOUNT]. The payment is due on the third of each month.
Please note that I am informing you 60 days in advance. As before, you can pay with a personal check or with cash. If you pay in cash, I will give you a receipt. I am forced to raise the rent because the local property taxes in this area have been increased.
Your monthly rent is the only change in the original rental agreement. I have enclosed two copies of this letter. If you wish to remain in the house, please sign one copy and return it to me at my above address. If you wish to terminate your occupancy of the house, you must be moved out in 60 days from the date of this letter by [DATE].
I hope you remain in the house. You have been an exemplary tenant and keep the house in good condition. I can be reached at [Phone Number] or by [Email Address] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Signature of Landlord
