Westfield Property Management
500 Commerce Drive, Suite 200
Portland, OR 97201

March 18

Ms. Jennifer Adams
1247 Oak Avenue, Apt. 3B
Portland, OR 97205

Dear Ms. Adams,

Thank you for being a valued tenant at Riverside Apartments for the past three years. I am writing to inform you that your current lease agreement, which expires on May 31, will need to be renewed if you wish to continue residing at the property.

As part of our annual review, we have made some adjustments to the rental rates for the upcoming year. Your monthly rent will increase from $1,200 to $1,260, reflecting a 5% adjustment. This increase is in line with the current market rates in the Portland area and accounts for recent improvements made to the building, including the renovation of the lobby and the installation of a new security system.

If you would like to renew your lease, please sign the enclosed renewal agreement and return it to our office by April 15. You may also schedule an appointment to discuss the terms of the new lease by calling our office at (503) 555-0147 during business hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.).

If we do not receive your signed agreement by April 15, we will assume that you do not intend to renew, and we will begin accepting applications from prospective tenants.

We truly value your tenancy and hope to continue our relationship. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Robert Martinez
Property Manager
Westfield Property Management
