Dear {name}, Due to rising food and electricity costs, the monthly rent will be revised to {amount} from {month}. We appreciate your understanding. Regards, {business}
Hi {name}, a heads-up: from {month}, rent at {business} will be {amount}. Costs for food and power have gone up, and we're also adding a water purifier on each floor. Happy to talk if you have questions.
Hi {name}, {month} se rent {amount} hoga. Khane aur bijli ka kharcha badh gaya hai. Koi sawal ho to baat kar lete hain. – {business}
Replace {name}, {amount}, {month}, {dueDate} and {business} with your own details – or let the FeeSend app fill them in for every member automatically.
When to send
At least 30 days before the new rent applies, or as your stay agreement requires.
Tips
- If you're adding something (purifier, better Wi-Fi), mention it; it makes the increase easier to accept.
- Tell all residents on the same day.
- Update the rent in FeeSend before the new month so reminders show the right amount.
Mistakes to avoid
- Increasing rent mid-month.
- Raising rent for one resident and not others in the same room type without a reason.
