Frequently asked questions
Am I allowed to refuse a rent increase?
It depends on your tenancy and jurisdiction. A written response that proposes a fairer figure is almost always the right first step, even when the landlord is technically entitled to raise the rent.
What counter-figure should I propose?
Look at comparable properties listed for rent in your area, the condition of your property, and your record as a tenant. A counter-proposal that is grounded in evidence is much harder to dismiss.
Should I mention my tenancy history?
Yes. Reliable, long-term tenants have real value to a landlord. The template prompts you to reference your tenancy start date and your payment record because these strengthen your position.
What if my landlord refuses to negotiate?
Keep the PDF and the email thread. If the proposed increase is contested formally, a dated written record of your reasonable counter-proposal is important supporting evidence.
