Title: Hillsboro Oregon Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention some concerns related to the deductions made from my security deposit at [rental property address]. As a responsible tenant who has consistently fulfilled all lease obligations, I believe these deductions to be unjustifiable. This letter serves as formal notice of the wrongful deductions and a demand for the prompt return of my security deposit. 1. Security Deposit Details: I would like to begin by providing you with the relevant details regarding my security deposit. The security deposit amount agreed upon at the beginning of the lease term was [specific amount]. The lease agreement stipulated that the security deposit would be used solely for covering any damages beyond normal wear and tear or unpaid rent at the end of the tenancy. 2. Itemized Deductions & Lack of Justification: Upon vacating the premises on [move-out date], I expected to receive the full refund of my security deposit. However, I received an itemized list of deductions amounting to [deduction amount] without sufficient justification. I have thoroughly reviewed the deductions and find them to be wrongful and inaccurate for the following reasons: a) [First deduction]: Provide a detailed explanation as to why this deduction is wrongful. Support your arguments with relevant evidence or documents, if available. b) [Second deduction]: Elaborate on the reasoning behind this deduction being unjustified, backed by supporting evidence or reasons for your claim. c) [Additional deductions, if any]: If there are more deductions, clearly state each one separately, substantiating your objection with clear explanations and relevant information. 3. Request for Immediate Return of Security Deposit: In light of the wrongful deductions made, I kindly request that you return the remaining balance of my security deposit, which accounts for the deductions I have successfully proven to be unjustifiable. The amount to be returned should be [claimed amount]. 4. Legal Recourse/Alternative Actions: While I expect that this matter can be resolved amicably, it is important to note that I am aware of my rights as a tenant under Oregon laws. If the full security deposit refund, excluding the wrongful deductions, is not returned to me within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days], I may have no alternative but to pursue legal action to recover the amount owed. I strongly believe that engaging in costly litigation can be avoided if we can reach an understanding promptly. 5. Conclusion: To ensure a fair resolution, I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and a response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days]. Alternatively, we can schedule a meeting to discuss the issues in detail. I am open to finding an amicable solution that avoids escalation while protecting my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve this dispute professionally to the satisfaction of both parties involved. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information] Additional Letters (if applicable): — Letter to Landlord's Attorney: If the landlord remains unresponsive or fails to refund the rightful amount, a letter addressed to their attorney can be prepared to indicate the tenant's intent to escalate the matter legally while inviting a response for resolution. — Letter to Small Claims Court: In situations where no resolution is reached outside the court, a tenant may choose to file a claim in small claims court to pursue the return of their security deposit, ensuring to provide relevant evidence and documentation to support their case.Title: Hillsboro Oregon Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.
