Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return — San Angelo, Texas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.

Upon conducting a thorough review of the deductions made, I have identified discrepancies and believe them to be wrongful. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for the prompt return of the majority of my security deposit. However, upon careful examination of the itemized statement provided, it is evident that certain deductions were unjustified and contrary to the terms of our lease agreement. As a responsible tenant, I ensured the property was left in good condition, adhering to the agreed-upon terms and carrying out necessary repairs and cleaning duties. After evaluating the charges mentioned in the itemized statement, I have identified the following points of dispute: 1. Charges for Repairs and Maintenance: — [Describe specific repairs/maintenance deducted] — These repairs/maintenance were not necessary due to ordinary wear and tear or were pre-existing conditions. — [Provide evidence, such as pictures or receipts] — Attached to this letter, you will find supporting documentation that confirms the property's condition at the time of move-out and demonstrates that the supposed damages were either exaggerated or nonexistent. — [Reference your lease agreement— - Our lease agreement clearly defines that I am not responsible for damages caused by regular use or acts not attributable to my tenancy. 2. Cleaning Fees: — [Specify cleaning tasks deducted— - The cleaning deducted from my security deposit was either carried out by me, as obligated by the lease agreement, or was already present upon my arrival. — [Provide evidence, such as pictures or receipts] — Enclosed with this letter, you will find photographs taken during the final inspection which demonstrate the cleanliness maintained throughout the property. — [Reference your lease agreement— - The lease agreement states that deductions will only be made for excessive filth, uncleanliness, or for cleaning tasks outside the scope of normal wear and tear. Considering the discrepancies outlined above, I hereby request the refund of the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit, totaling [Amount in dispute]. To ensure a prompt resolution, I kindly request that you return this amount within [Specify reasonable time, e.g., 14 days] following the receipt of this letter. If, for any reason, you believe that the disputed deductions are accurate and legally justified, I respectfully request a detailed explanation in writing, supported by evidence and referencing the relevant lease clauses. Please be advised that, if a satisfactory resolution is not reached within a reasonable timeframe, I may have no choice but to pursue legal action. I hope we can address this in an amicable manner without resorting to such measures.
