Tell a tenant about a rent increase

Write a rent increase notice from {{landlord}} to {{tenant_name}} at {{property}}, so that the tenant knows exactly what is changing and from when, and so that I can check the notice against every requirement I list below. A rent increase notice can be a legal document; I will check the requirements for my area, and the draft must make it easy to see that each one is met.

Current rent, and what it includes: {{current_rent}}
New rent, and the date it starts: {{new_rent_and_date}}
Lease type and relevant terms (fixed term or month-to-month, rent review clause): {{lease_terms}}
Notice requirements for my area, as I understand them (notice period, delivery method, required wording, any limit on increases): {{notice_rules}}
How the notice will be delivered, and on what date: {{delivery}}
A reason, if I want to give one: {{reason}}
How the tenant can contact me with questions: {{contact}}

Produce:
1. The notice, under 250 words: the date of the notice, the tenant's name, the property, the current rent, the new rent, the amount of the increase (calculated), the date it takes effect, the reason if I gave one, any change to how to pay, and contact details.
2. A checklist below the notice: each requirement from my notice rules and where the notice meets it, or "NOT MET" with the reason. Include the date arithmetic: the delivery date plus the notice period, compared with the start date.
3. A short, friendly cover message for email or text, under 80 words, if the formal notice goes by another method.

The tone should be polite, plain and businesslike, with no apology for the increase and no pressure.

For example, the date check in the right form: "Notice delivered [date] + [notice period] = [date]; the increase starts [date], so the notice period is met." That example shows the form only.

Do not:
- State what the law in my area requires, or add notice periods, caps or tenant rights from your own knowledge. Use only my notice rules.
- Threaten eviction or mention what happens if the tenant does not pay.
- Give a reason I did not give.

If any of my notice rules is blank, write [CHECK LOCAL RULE: what] in the checklist. If the start date does not leave the notice period I gave, put a line at the very top starting "PROBLEM:" and give the earliest start date that would. Do the same if my lease terms suggest the rent cannot change during the current term. Rent rules change and some places limit increases, so have the final notice checked against current local rules before it is sent.
