Fontana California Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF WRONGFUL DEDUCTIONS FROM SECURITY DEPOSIT AND DEMAND FOR RETURN I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the wrongful deductions made from my security deposit and to request immediate return of the withheld amount. As a tenant residing at [address] in Fontana, California, I believe it is my right to receive a full refund of my security deposit as per California rental laws and our lease agreement. On [date of move-out], I vacated the premises and ensured that the property was clean, in good condition, and all obligations as per my lease agreement were fulfilled. However, upon receiving the itemized deductions' statement attached to this letter, I was disappointed to find several unjustifiable deductions made, totaling [amount withheld]. I would like to address each deduction separately: 1. [State the first deduction and provide evidence or reasoning as to why it is wrongful.] 2. [State the second deduction and provide evidence or reasoning as to why it is wrongful.] 3. [State the third deduction and provide evidence or reasoning as to why it is wrongful.] Considering the California Civil Code § 1950.5 and the specific terms outlined in our lease agreement, I assert that these deductions are unjustified and in violation of my rights as a tenant. It is essential to remind you that the security deposit is intended to cover unpaid rent, repairs, or cleaning costs that go beyond normal wear and tear. Having meticulously maintained the property during my tenancy, it is evident that none of these deductions are applicable. I kindly request that you rectify this situation promptly by returning the wrongfully withheld amount of [amount withheld] to the provided address listed below within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days]. Failure to comply with this request may lead me to pursue legal action to recover the wrongfully withheld deposit, which would involve additional costs and damages as permitted by law. For your reference, I have enclosed copies of the lease agreement, move-in and move-out inspection reports, and relevant photographs showcasing the property's condition upon my departure. I trust that you will handle this matter responsibly and promptly, demonstrating your commitment to fair and lawful practices. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide a written response regarding your intentions and actions to resolve this dispute. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
