Title: Newark, New Jersey: Tenant's Letter to Landlord Addressing Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demanding Return Keywords: Newark, New Jersey, letter, tenant, landlord, notice, wrongful deductions, security deposit, demand for return --- [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 discuss a concerning matter regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon the termination of my lease agreement at [Rental Property Address], located in Newark, New Jersey. Having reviewed the itemized deductions provided by your representative, I believe several discrepancies have been made, prompting me to address this issue and request a return of the wrongfully deducted amount. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that as a responsible tenant, I have taken great care of the rented premises throughout the duration of my tenancy. I have followed all maintenance requirements outlined in the lease agreement and have ensured the property's cleanliness and proper upkeep. Therefore, I was surprised to note various deductions which appear to be unjustified and disproportionate to the normal wear and tear that should be expected. To support my claim, I have attached copies of the lease agreement, move-in inspection report, and photographic evidence taken upon moving in and out of the premises. It is important to note that these records clearly demonstrate the condition of the property upon my moving in and refute any damages attributed to my tenancy. I kindly request that you review these documents alongside the itemized deductions provided. Based on my analysis, the following wrongful deductions have been made: 1. [Specify First Wrongful Deduction]: Describe the deduction made from the security deposit (e.g., carpet cleaning expenses) followed by an explanation as to why it is unsubstantiated, providing any supporting evidence. 2. [Specify Second Wrongful Deduction]: State the exact deduction made (e.g., painting charges) and explain why it does not accurately represent the necessary repairs required. 3. [Specify Third Wrongful Deduction]: Detail the amount deducted and the reason provided, providing evidence to counter the claim. Considering the compelling evidence supporting my stance, I kindly request an immediate rectification of the deductions involving my security deposit amount. I hereby demand the prompt return of the deducted sum in full within [Specify reasonable timeline, e.g., 14 days from the date of this letter], failing which legal action may be pursued to protect my rights as a tenant. Please be advised that Newark, New Jersey, Tenant-Landlord laws strictly regulate security deposits, and deductions can only be made for legitimate reasons with proper documentation. I trust that you will address this matter promptly and fairly, avoiding unnecessary legal complications. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email. I kindly request a written response within [Specify reasonable timeline, e.g., seven days] to confirm the actions taken to address this issue. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
