[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Failure to Return Prepaid Rent, Unearned Rent, and Security Deposit Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding the return of my prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit, for the rental property located at [Property Address], Rochester, New York. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to reside in your rental property. During my tenancy, I have always adhered to the terms of our lease agreement, fulfilled all my responsibilities as a tenant, and maintained the property in good condition. As per the lease agreement, the security deposit I provided upon moving into the premises was meant to be returned to me within a specified time frame after the termination of the tenancy. It has now been more than [number of days] days since I vacated the rental property, and I have yet to receive any communication or documentation regarding the return of my security deposit. In addition to the security deposit, I believe I am entitled to the return of prepaid and unearned rent. As stipulated in the lease agreement, I paid an amount equivalent to [specific amount/number of months] in advance for the rental period extending beyond my occupation of the premises. Since my tenancy ended on [termination date], I am owed the unearned portion of the rent, minus any allowable deductions as per New York State law. Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention that New York State law requires landlords to provide tenants with a written notice itemizing any deductions made from the security deposit. This notice, along with the balance of the deposit, is to be returned within a specific timeframe, typically [number of days] days from the termination of the tenancy. To date, I have not received any such written notice or the balance of my security deposit. As a responsible tenant, I kindly request that you promptly address this matter and take the necessary steps to return all prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the remaining portion of my security deposit, within [reasonable timeframe, generally 14 days as per New York State law]. Failure to do so will oblige me to take further action to protect my rights and seek legal remedies, including filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities and pursuing legal proceedings if necessary. I encourage open communication and a swift resolution to this matter, as I believe it is in both of our best interests to resolve any potential disputes amicably. If you require any further documentation or information from my end, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email provided above. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving the full refund of my prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the remaining security deposit, within the specified timeframe. Sincerely, [Your Name]
