Dear (Name),
You have been my tenant for five years now. Let me express my gratitude to you for being a most congenial tenant who has complied with all my request regarding maintenance of the property. You have never caused any problem for me to complain about delay in payment of rent. Our relationship is also one of rare understanding. But I am compelled to write to you for increasing the rent. As I am a retired person now, my only source of income is the rent of the house, which seems to be insufficient. As a result an increase in the rent by ____________ (Amount) has become inevitable w.e.f. from ____________ (Month).
I hope you will understand my position and will accept in the right spirit.
