[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord’s Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon move-out from the rental property located at [Rental Property Address] in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to be a tenant at your property during my lease term from [Lease Start Date] to [Lease End Date]. I have always strived to fulfill my obligations as a responsible tenant and taken great care of the rental property throughout my tenancy. However, upon reviewing the itemized deductions provided to me in the Security Deposit Return Statement, dated [Date of Receipt], I am deeply disappointed to find that certain deductions have been made without valid justification or proper documentation, which is in direct violation of Florida Statutes Section 83.49. Below, I have listed the specific instances of wrongful deductions made from my security deposit: 1. [First Wrongful Deduction]: [Provide a detailed description of the deduction, including the amount and the incorrect justification given by the landlord.] 2. [Second Wrongful Deduction]: [Provide a detailed description of the deduction, including the amount and the incorrect justification given by the landlord.] 3. [Third Wrongful Deduction]: [Provide a detailed description of the deduction, including the amount and the incorrect justification given by the landlord.] I kindly request that you reconsider the validity of these deductions and provide immediate reimbursement of the wrongfully withheld amount, totaling [EX]. In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 83.49(3), you are required to return the security deposit within 15 days from receiving this notice. If the full refund of the wrongfully deducted amount is not received within the aforementioned timeframe, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant, including filing a complaint with the proper authorities and seeking appropriate redress through small claims court. I believe this issue can be resolved amicably, and I am open to discussing the matter further if you wish to resolve it outside legal proceedings. I look forward to your prompt response and a fair resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
