Description

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. Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return — Oakland, Michigan Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an issue regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon my lease termination at the property located at [Rental Property Address], Oakland, Michigan. It has come to my attention that there have been wrongful deductions made without a valid reason, and I kindly request the immediate return of the remaining amount of my security deposit. Upon thorough review of Michigan's landlord-tenant laws and our lease agreement, I have found the following concerns regarding the deductions: 1. Unauthorized or Excessive Repair Costs: I would like to bring to your attention that some repair costs deducted from my security deposit were either unauthorized or excessively charged. As stated in our lease agreement, tenant responsibilities are limited to reasonable wear and tear. Therefore, any damages caused by factors beyond my control or considered normal wear should not be deducted from the security deposit. 2. Insufficient PRE- and Post-Inspection Documentation: It has come to my attention that a pre-instruction and post-inspection were not conducted or documented properly. According to Michigan law, landlords must provide tenants with a written itemized list of damages (if any) within 30 days of lease termination. As there is a lack of proper documentation, I am concerned that the deductions were made arbitrarily without any supporting evidence. In light of the above, I demand the return of my security deposit in full amount of [EX], which was initially paid on [Date of Payment]. I kindly request the resolution of this matter within the timeframe as dictated by Michigan law, which states that landlords must return the security deposit or provide a written explanation for the deductions within 30 days. Failure to respond to this notice or return my security deposit in full within the specified timeframe may result in legal action. Please understand that I would prefer to resolve this matter amicably without any further complications, as it is in both of our interests to avoid unnecessary legal proceedings. I have provided my contact information below for your convenience. Please feel free to reach out to discuss this matter further or to arrange the return of my security deposit. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address] Possible variant of the letter: If the tenant would like to add a note regarding the appeal process or if the tenant seeks to recover penalties for the wrongful deductions: Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit, Demand for Return, and Intent to Seek Penalties — Oakland, Michigan Dear [Landlord's Name], ... [Rest of the letter remains the same as above, with additional paragraphs provided below] Furthermore, in accordance with Michigan law, if the security deposit is not returned within the specified time frame or if the deductions were not made in accordance with the law, I may seek to recover up to double the amount wrongfully withheld as a penalty. I hope we can address this matter amicably without escalating the situation, thereby avoiding legal action. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter and provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 business days] from the date of receipt. Failure to respond or comply may result in further legal action being pursued. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate a swift resolution.
