Title: Burbank California Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address concerns regarding my security deposit that was held for the property located at [Address of the Property]. I have recently vacated the premises, and upon a careful review of the itemized deductions provided to me, I have found certain deductions to be incorrect or unjustified. This letter serves as an official notice of the wrongful deductions made from my security deposit and a formal demand for their immediate return. Paragraph 1: Legal Obligations and Overview of Security Deposit Laws in Burbank, California As per the California Civil Code Section 1950.5, landlords are required to return the tenant's security deposit within 21 days after move out, along with an itemized statement of deductions. It is crucial to adhere to this legal framework to ensure fairness and transparency in financial transactions between tenants and landlords. Paragraph 2: Highlighting the Specific Deductions and Pointing Out Inconsistencies In reviewing the itemized deductions, I have identified certain inconsistencies, discrepancies, and incorrect charges. Here, provide a detailed list of the deductions you believe are wrongful, such as unauthorized repairs, exaggerated cleaning costs, misguided damages claims, or any other unjustifiable expenses. Paragraph 3: Supporting Evidence To substantiate my claim of wrongful deductions, I have attached supporting documents, such as photographs taken before moving in and upon vacating the property. Additionally, I have gathered all relevant repair receipts, professional cleaning invoices, and other evidence that refute the charges mentioned in the itemized deductions. Paragraph 4: Request for Immediate Refund and Resolution Based on my findings, I hereby request you to rectify the wrongful deductions from my security deposit promptly and refund the remaining balance within the next 10 business days. I trust that you will prioritize resolving this matter to avoid any further legal actions, which may include filing a complaint with the appropriate Burbank authorities. Paragraph 5: Mention of Consequences and Legal Action Please be aware that if the wrongfully deducted amount is not refunded within the specified timeframe, I will be left with no choice but to take further legal actions, such as filing a lawsuit in small claims court, which may result in additional costs and damages. Conclusion: In conclusion, I believe in the importance of maintaining a fair landlord-tenant relationship and adhering to legal obligations.
