[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from 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 certain discrepancies regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon the termination of my tenancy at [Rental Property Address] in Lima, Arizona. I hereby assert that the deductions made were unjustified and in violation of the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ALTA). Firstly, as stated in the signed lease agreement dated [Lease Start Date] and subsequently renewed on [Renewal Date], I fulfilled my obligations as a responsible tenant by leaving the rental property in a clean, well-maintained, and undamaged condition. I followed the move-out procedures outlined in the lease agreement, including hiring professional cleaners and repairing any minor damages caused during my occupancy. However, upon receiving the itemized statement of deductions from my security deposit, dated [Date of Deductions Statement], it became evident that certain charges were incorrect and unjustifiable. 1. Cleaning Charges: I had already arranged for professional cleaners, as per the lease agreement, to spotless the premises before returning it to you. The charges imposed for cleaning services go against our agreed terms. 2. Repairs and Maintenance Costs: The deductions for repairs and maintenance costs listed on the statement were inaccurate. It is necessary to note that these repairs were either pre-existing conditions or ordinary wear and tear, which falls under your responsibility as the landlord, as stipulated in the ALTA. I demand an immediate refund of the wrongfully deducted amount of $[Amount Deducted] from the security deposit within [In a reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] of receiving this letter. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to recover the wrongfully withheld funds. Please be advised that, under the ALTA, any failure to return the security deposit within the designated timeframe could result in the imposition of statutory penalties, including treble damages. I trust that this will not be necessary, as I believe we can resolve this matter amicably. I kindly request that you acknowledge the receipt of this letter in writing and promptly address the issue at hand. Furthermore, I believe in maintaining positive landlord-tenant relationships, and I hope that we can reach a fair and just resolution to this matter without further complications. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate your prompt response and the return of the wrongfully deducted amount.
