[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] 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 bring to your attention the wrongful deductions that have been made from my security deposit upon termination of my lease agreement at [Rental Property Address]. I believe these deductions do not align with the terms of the lease agreement and Ohio state law. As a result, I kindly request immediate return of the wrongfully deducted amount. To provide a comprehensive overview, please find below a detailed explanation of the deductions made from my security deposit: 1. [Incorrect Deduction 1]: On [Date], you deducted [Amount $] from my security deposit for [Reason]. However, according to the lease agreement, this does not fall under the categories of permissible deductions, and the condition of the property at move-out was consistent with the agreed-upon move-in condition. 2. [Incorrect Deduction 2]: On [Date], you deducted [Amount $] from my security deposit for [Reason]. It is important to note that [Reason] is not valid grounds for deduction as per Ohio state law and the provisions outlined in the lease agreement. 3. [Incorrect Deduction 3]: On [Date], you deducted [Amount $] from my security deposit for [Reason]. It is evident from the lease agreement that the responsibility for such repairs or maintenance falls under the landlord's purview, and the deductions made are unjustifiable. Based on the aforementioned, I kindly request that you reimburse the wrongfully deducted amount of [Total Deduction $] to me within [time frame, typically 30 days] from the date of this letter. Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to take further action to protect my rights as a tenant. This may include seeking legal assistance, filing a complaint with the Ohio State Attorney General's office, and pursuing any available legal remedies. To ensure a fair resolution to this matter, I kindly request that you provide a detailed breakdown of the deductions made and the supporting evidence justifying each deduction. Please provide this information within [time frame, typically 10 days] from the date of receiving this letter. I would like to remind you that Ohio state law, specifically the Ohio Revised Code Section [Relevant Section], protects the rights of tenants in matters concerning security deposits. The law obliges landlords to return the security deposit within a reasonable timeframe and only make lawful deductions explicitly listed in the lease agreement. Should you agree to promptly return the wrongfully deducted amount, I assure you that this situation can be resolved amicably and without any further escalation. I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
