Subject: Broward Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the failure to return all prepaid and unearned rent and security deposit that is recoverable by me as a tenant in accordance with the laws set forth in Broward County, Florida. As per our lease agreement dated [insert lease start date], which expired on [insert lease end date], I fulfilled all my obligations as a responsible tenant. I vacated the premises on [insert move-out date] and ensured the unit was left in pristine condition, meeting the standards as stated in the lease agreement. However, despite complying with all the terms and conditions specified in the lease agreement, I have not received the return of my prepaid rent and security deposit within the legally mandated time frame. As outlined in the Florida Statutes, specifically Chapter 83: Landlord and Tenant, section 83.49(3), a landlord is obligated to return all prepaid rent and security deposit within 15 days after the tenant has surrendered the premises, unless the landlord furnishes a notice in writing detailing their intent to impose a claim upon the security deposit or prepaid rent with a specific description of the damages incurred. To rectify this matter promptly, I kindly request the following actions to be taken: 1. Provide a detailed itemized statement highlighting any deductions made from the prepaid rent and security deposit, along with valid receipts and documentation supporting these deductions, as required by law. 2. Return the remaining balance of the prepaid rent and security deposit, if applicable, within the prescribed time frame of 15 days from the date of this letter. Failure to act upon this request within the specified time frame will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal remedies available to me, including filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities and seeking legal counsel to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you will resolve this matter promptly and amicably. I appreciate your immediate attention to this issue. Feel free to contact me at [your contact information] to discuss this matter further. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] Other types of Broward Florida Letters from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit: 1.
