[Name, surname and contact details of the tenant]

[Madame/Monsieur,]

As part of the lease renewal, you proposed an increase in rent by the amount of the increase.

In accordance with Article 17-2 of the Law of 6 July 1989, I contest this increase. Indeed, I feel that the new amount of my rent is [amount of new rent] is too high and is not in line with the rents usually found in the neighborhood for comparable housing.

In the event that you wish to retain your proposed increase, I would reserve the possibility of seizing the Departmental conciliation committee.

Sincerely

[Signature]
