A Letter of Intent to Raise Rent is a crucial document in Philippine property management that serves as formal notification of a planned rental increase. This document is typically used when property owners or managers need to adjust rental rates due to market conditions, increased maintenance costs, or property improvements. The letter must strictly comply with Philippine legislation, particularly the Rent Control Act (RA 9653), which caps annual increases at 7% for qualifying properties. The document should be issued with appropriate notice periods and include specific details about the current rent, proposed increase, effective date, and justification. It's essential in maintaining transparent landlord-tenant relationships and ensuring legal compliance in the Philippine real estate market.
