To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in regards to the rental unit at 123– 456 7^th Ave New Westminster, A1B 2C4.

On February 1^st, 2007, I moved into the aforementioned property. Since them, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation report made public this  spring (http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/odpub/esub/64487/64487_2009_B01.pdf), apartment vacancies rose to 3.3% compared to 1.8% in April 2008.  Economists and real estate experts predict the decline to continue through 2009-2010.

In our building that has meant facing empty units for several months. I ask that our rent should be lowered to $650/month from $675/month, at least for the next 12 months. This would satisfy your interest in keeping the unit occupied and our interest in staying in the apartment at a reasonable rate.

Also, I would like to use this opportunity to thank our building manager. We appreciate the friendliness and she has helped us until now, sometimes outside her working ours. She is great!

As one property manager recently told The Record: “If they’re good payers, I will give them a discount.” Here I am, good payer, asking for a reasonable discount. The $49 off the current rate is a fair request and will save you money (if you’ll keep the unit empty even for one month, you will be loosing $675, which is more than if you’d lower our rent with $25/month for one year)

Hoping that this makes perfect business sense, I look forward to continuing the conversation and hearing from you shortly. Please provide an answer as soon as possible, as depending on it we’ll decide to move or not.

Sincerely,
