Does anyone have a sample letter to send to the Housing Department to request an increase of rent for Section 8 Unit?

I checked the Boston Section 8 site and it says this:

Your landlord may request a rent increase after you have been in your apartment one year. If the rent request is made, your landlord is required to give you and BHA a 60-day notice. BHA will determine if the rent increase amount is reasonable. If BHA approves the request, your Leasing Officer will contact you to discuss what this means for you and how much more you will pay in rent. You do not have to accept the rent increase – your Leasing Officer will advise you regarding your options in this situation.

They have a link for the policies but it wasn't working. Contact Boston Housing Authority to get more information or the necessary forms.
