Respond to a rent increase notice

Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds

Your landlord has sent you a notice saying that your rent will increase by $200 a month in three months. You have lived in the apartment for four years, always paid on time and recently repainted two rooms at your own cost.

Write an email to your landlord, Mr. Bianchi in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Explain how the increase would affect you.
  • Remind him of your history as a tenant.
  • Propose a smaller increase, and explain why it would be fair.
