A notice is a starting point for a clear conversation.
The idea
Ask why the rent is increasing, how much you would pay and when the new amount would apply.
Examples
- He recibido el aviso del aumento de alquiler.I received the rent increase notice.
- ¿Podría explicarme el motivo de la subida?Could you explain the reason for the increase?
- ¿Cuánto pagaré al mes con el nuevo importe?How much will I pay per month at the new amount?
- ¿Desde qué fecha se aplicaría el aumento?From what date would the increase apply?
- Mi contrato termina en septiembre.My contract ends in September.
- ¿Puede enviarme los detalles por escrito?Can you send me the details in writing?
