I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding the security deposit I provided upon entering into a lease agreement at [Rental Property Address] in Killeen, Texas. As a responsible tenant, I have thoroughly reviewed the lease agreement and Texas Property Code Section 92.101-109, which governs security deposits.

Unjustified Deductions: Upon careful examination of the itemized list of deductions you provided, I have identified several deductions for which there is no valid reasoning or evidence provided. These deductions include [specific deductions]. Given the lack of any justifiable reason for these deductions, I insist on their immediate removal from the itemized list. 2.

This is necessary for me to evaluate the validity and legitimacy of the deductions. 3.
