This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a letter from the Tenant to Landlord containing notice of wrongful deductions from the security deposit anda demand for return. This form complies with state statutory law.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding my security deposit, which I believe has been wrongfully deducted. As per my lease agreement and the laws of the state of Florida, I am entitled to a full refund of my security deposit within 15 days of the termination of my tenancy. Upon vacating the property at [address], I conducted a thorough inspection and left it in the same condition as when I first moved in, with only reasonable wear and tear. However, I have recently received your itemized deductions statement, and I must express my strong disagreement with the charges listed. Firstly, you have deducted an excessive cleaning fee of $200. It is crucial to note that I had the property professionally cleaned before departing, and I have the receipt as proof. Therefore, I kindly request a copy of the invoice or receipt you used to support this charge, as per my right under Section 83.49(3)(a), Florida Statutes. Furthermore, the deduction of $150 for carpet cleaning is unjustified. I have provided evidence in the form of photographs taken upon my departure, clearly showing the carpets in excellent condition. Without proper evidence or justification, I demand a full refund of this amount. Another issue raised in your deductions statement is the charge of $100 for repairing damages to the walls. It is crucial to note that these damages were present upon my initial move-in, and I reported them promptly to your office. I have copies of the maintenance request forms as well as photographs taken during my move-in inspection. Given the circumstances, I find this charge to be unwarranted, and I request an immediate refund. Finally, I noticed a deduction of $75 for replacing a bathroom mirror. While I acknowledge that the mirror sustained accidental damage during my tenancy, I believe this expense should fall under normal wear and tear and, therefore, should not be deducted from my security deposit. In light of the aforementioned points, I kindly request a full refund of the wrongfully deducted amount totaling $525 within 14 days from the date of this letter. Failure to comply with this request may result in further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant under Florida law. Please consider this letter as my notice of wrongful deductions from my security deposit and a formal demand for the immediate return of the full amount. Should you have any questions or require additional documentation regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]
