[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the matter regarding the failure to return my security deposit, which was due to me upon the termination of my tenancy at [Rental Property Address] in Gilbert, Arizona. As you may recall, I fulfilled all obligations outlined in the lease agreement, including paying rent on time, maintaining the property in good condition, and completing a thorough cleaning before vacating the premises on [Move-out Date]. I have attempted to contact you several times regarding the status of my security deposit, but unfortunately, these attempts have not yielded any response from your end. Under Arizona Revised Statutes Section 33-1321(D), which governs security deposits, a landlord is required to return the deposit within 14 days of the tenant moving out or provide an itemized list of deductions, along with any remaining balance. It has now been over [number of days] since I moved out, and I have yet to receive any communication or return of my security deposit from you. I kindly request that you immediately return my security deposit in full, totaling [amount of security deposit], as outlined in the lease agreement. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to recover the unpaid security deposit, which may result in legal fees and other costs that you will be responsible for. In the event that there are any valid reasons for withholding a portion of my deposit, I ask that you provide a detailed account of the deductions made and an itemized list of expenses within 14 days of receipt of this letter, as mandated by state law. Please ensure that any deductions made comply with all applicable laws and regulations. I would appreciate a prompt response acknowledging the receipt of this letter and confirming the return of my security deposit or providing the itemized deductions list, along with any remaining balance, if applicable. If I do not receive a response from you within 14 days of receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to take further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect prompt resolution regarding the return of my security deposit. I hope that we can resolve this issue amicably and avoid the need for legal intervention.
