Title: Stamford Connecticut Letter from Tenant to Landlord Containing Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Keywords: Stamford Connecticut, tenant, landlord, security deposit, notice, failure to return, demand Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an important matter regarding the security deposit I paid to you upon signing the lease agreement for [Address of Rental Property]. It has come to my attention that the agreed-upon period for returning my security deposit has elapsed, and I have yet to receive the full refund. This letter serves as both a notice of your failure to return the security deposit and a formal demand for its prompt return, as stipulated by the laws of Stamford Connecticut. Body: 1. Explanation of Security Deposit Agreement: Upon signing the lease agreement on [Date], I provided a security deposit of [Amount] as a form of financial protection for you in case of any potential damages to the rental property during my tenancy. It is important to stress that this security deposit remains the tenant's property until deductions are lawfully made for any permissible reasons. 2. Compliance with Connecticut Law: As you may be aware, Stamford Connecticut state laws require landlords to return the security deposit within 30 days after the termination of the tenancy, or within 15 days after receiving the tenant's forwarding address, whichever is later. Based on the termination date of my tenancy, which occurred on [Date], the period for returning the security deposit has already lapsed. 3. Documentation of Rental Property Condition: To ensure transparency and avoid any confusion, I have taken multiple pictures and videos of the rental property on the day I moved out. These visual records clearly show the clean and well-maintained condition in which I left the premises. I am confident that the property remained unharmed during my occupancy. 4. Requested Actions: a) Immediate Return of Security Deposit: I kindly demand that you promptly return my security deposit of [Amount] as specified in the lease agreement. As emphasized by Connecticut law, the legally determined timeframe within which you must return the deposit has expired. b) Itemized Statement: In case any deductions are necessary, I request an itemized statement outlining the specific reasons for deductions, their corresponding costs, and any supporting documentation. This statement should be provided within the next ten business days. Conclusion: The failure to return the security deposit within the legally mandated period has placed me in an unfavorable financial situation, which is a direct violation of my rights as a tenant. I kindly request that you rectify this matter immediately to avoid any legal consequences that may arise from a breach of the lease agreement or related laws. I trust that this issue can be resolved amicably and without the need for further escalation. Should you fail to comply with this request, I may be left with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to receiving a response within ten business days to resolve this situation.
