Letter Refusing to Reduce Rent | Word & Excel Templates

Not every person can afford their own home, so they have to pay rent to the homeowner to spend a good life with kids. In the past few years, property prices have increased so much due to inflation that it has become difficult for people to pay rent. It is hard to spend a luxurious life nowadays when there are more than two kids, and the parents have to afford their education and basic life needs. The rate of everything is increasing, just like the rents, and most people shift to tiny houses to save money.

Essential points to reply to the letter:

Never forget to mention the issues you are facing in daily life due to your financial status. This will make the tenant aware of your financial condition, and he/she will not request a reduction in the rent again.
Don’t use harsh words, which show you have an attitude, just because you own the home.
Always communicate politely so the tenant doesn’t feel bad about the request. It is not wise to be rude to the tenants, as they are paying you for what you have provided them.
Ask the client to pay the rent at the decided time at the end of the letter. You should not sound rude in any way when replying to the letter. Show the client your hope of getting the rent on time, as it sounds humble and tell the tenant that you are not allowing delayed rent payment.
End the letter with a sorry and tell the tenant you will pray for them so that they will be able to pay the decided amount of rent easily.

Sample for letter refusing to reduce rent:

Dear (tenant name)

I have received your request to reduce the rent, but I can’t do anything about it because everyone faces the same issues due to inflation. I understand your concern about low income and a family to feed, but I can’t help you. I want to inform you that everyone has to deal with worse situations in life, and you shouldn’t make a request when we have signed an agreement.

You know I am not working and I also have a family, I have to fulfill their basic requirements. I am also in a difficult situation because my health and age don’t allow me to work full-time. I am already getting low rent, and you can compare the rent with other houses available for rent in this area.

I am sorry, and I regret that I can’t do you a favour in this case. You should have seen the merits and demerits before making a deal. I will pray for you so you can resolve the issue and get a high-paying job.

Thanks.
