[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 serious concerns regarding the deductions made from my security deposit for the property located at [Property Address] in Louisville, Kentucky. It has come to my attention that the deductions made were unjustified and violate the provisions outlined in the lease agreement and Kentucky's landlord-tenant laws. I hereby demand the immediate return of the wrongfully deducted amount. To provide clarity on the matter, I have listed the specific deductions that I strongly believe were wrongful: 1. [List wrongful deduction 1]: According to the lease agreement, this expense is clearly stated as the landlord's responsibility. As such, I expect a reimbursement of [amount deducted] for this item. 2. [List wrongful deduction 2]: The deduction made for this item is unsubstantiated and does not align with the condition of the property when I vacated it. I request a refund of [amount deducted] associated with this item. 3. [List wrongful deduction 3]: This deduction is unjustifiable as it disregards the ordinary wear and tear of the property, which landlords are not entitled to deduct from the security deposit. I insist on the refund of [amount deducted] for this item. As per Kentucky Revised Statutes Section 383.580, landlords are required to provide an itemized list of deductions within 60 days after the termination of the tenancy. Based on the date of termination specified in the lease agreement, this deadline has already passed without any communication from your end. This failure to comply with the statute further strengthens my stance that the deductions made were wrongful. If I do not receive the full refund of the wrongfully deducted amount totaling [total amount], as well as an itemized breakdown of the deductions made, within 10 days from the date of this letter, I will be left with no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. Please understand that I value our previous tenant-landlord relationship and would prefer to reach an amicable resolution without any further escalation. I kindly request your prompt attention in rectifying this matter to avoid unnecessary legal proceedings. I urge you to review my concerns and respond promptly in writing or via email to confirm the return of the wrongfully deducted amount. Furthermore, I can be reached at the contact details provided above. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Signature] Enclosure: None (or specify if applicable, e.g., copy of lease agreement, photographs of property condition upon move-out, etc.) Keywords: Louisville Kentucky, tenant, landlord, notice, wrongful deductions, security deposit, demand for return, itemized list, lease agreement, Kentucky's landlord-tenant laws, reimbursement, unsubstantiated deductions, ordinary wear and tear, Kentucky Revised Statutes Section 383.580, legal action[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.
