REFUSAL TO REDUCE RENT

Dear Sir’

I am surprised to note that you are persistently asking for reduction in rent as also for renovations and repairs. I regret to say that neither of the two demands id possible of fulfillment in the near future. Your rent was fixed when houses were many and tenants few. Since then you know everything has gone up—- wages’ prices’ or expenses on building material etc. —- but I am charging you the same rent as you paid ten years back. Therefore’ I request you to undertake all the repairs yourself. Also think in terms of increasing the rent in accordance with the rise in the cost of building material.

Yours faithfully’

X.Y.Z.

(Landlord)
