Make a counteroffer. While landlords are not legally required to negotiate with tenants, you may be able to convince your landlord to reconsider. Or you may want to ask for a lower increase and make a counter offer. If you have a good relationship with the landlord, they may want to keep you as a tenant.

Present your argument to your landlord in a constructive way. Have ads for comparable units showing their monthly rent. Provide math showing how beneficial it would be for you to simply just move and pay a lower rent.
