Letter Writing: Notice of Rent Increase in House Rents to Tenants
Increasing rent can be a minefield, It can be difficult to raise rent without causing a backlash, from maintaining compliance with local laws to potentially losing loyal tenants.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t or can’t raise your rent. It simply means that you must have done your homework and prepared extensively.
You shouldn’t add a sum to tenants’ monthly payments without doing some market research beforehand. Increasing rent might not lead to greater profit margins if it means your property falls outside of the competitive bracket in your neighbourhood.

I take this chance to thank you for being a valuable and trustworthy tenant. Allow me to notify you of an impending increase in yearly rent because of inflation and the recent increase in property taxes.
Note that your current lease will expire on 30th September 2021. After the expiry date, the new rent will be 280, 000FRS for a Single person in a room and 320,000FRS for two persons. Kindly let me know if you’ll renew the lease.
It’s my hope you’ll continue living on the property. I treasure the long-term relationship we’ve had as landlord and tenant.
