Keywords: Costa Mesa, California, Tenant, Letter, Landlord, Failure to return, Prepaid rent, Unearned rent, Security deposit, Recoverable, Legal action, Notice Main Content: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter concerning the return of my prepaid and unearned rent, as well as my security deposit, which have not been returned within the legally mandated timeframe. As a tenant at [rental property address] and under California law, I wish to assert my rights and formally demand the prompt return of these funds. I would like to bring to your attention the following concerns and issues: 1. Failure to Return Prepaid Rent: I have recently vacated the rental premises as per the terms of our lease agreement, and yet I have not received the full refund of the prepaid rent for the unused portion of my lease term. According to California Civil Code section 1950.5, prepaid rent is returnable within 21 days after the tenant has vacated the premises. As this deadline has passed, I expect the prompt reimbursement of the prepaid rent without any unnecessary delay. 2. Unearned Rent Compensation: During my tenancy, I have paid rent in advance for the full lease term. However, as I vacated the property before the lease term ended, there remains a portion of rent that I'm entitled to receive as unearned rent compensation. According to California law, this amount should also be returned to me within the same 21-day period. 3. Failure to Return Security Deposit: Furthermore, I have not received any communication from you regarding the return of my security deposit or a detailed itemization of any deductions, should there be any. According to California Civil Code section 1950.5, you are obligated to return the security deposit, or provide a written explanation for any deductions made, within 21 days after the termination of tenancy. Regrettably, I have exceeded this period without receiving any response. Please be advised that the failure to comply with these statutory requirements may result in the entitlement of additional damages for wrongfully withholding my funds. If I do not receive the full refund of the aforementioned amounts within [a reasonable time, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this letter, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action to recover my deposit and any additional damages allowable under the law. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid unnecessary legal proceedings. I kindly request prompt attention to this issue and the immediate return of the prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit. Thank you in advance for your prompt response.
