Title: Provo Utah 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 address a concern regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon moving out of the rental property located at [Rental Property Address, City, State]. As a responsible tenant, I believe that these deductions were unjustified and not in accordance with the terms of our rental agreement. I kindly request a thorough review of the concerns raised below and the return of the deducted amount within [number of days as per lease agreement]. Paragraph 1: Clear statement of issue During the move-out inspection, it was brought to my attention that several deductions had been made from my security deposit. Unfortunately, after careful review of the circumstances, it is evident that these deductions were made wrongfully, as they do not align with the terms specified in our rental agreement. Paragraph 2: Explanation of specific deductions 1. Inadequate documentation: The deductions listed in the itemized list provided to me lacked adequate documentation and specific details supporting the charges. As stated in our rental agreement, you are required to provide a detailed breakdown and receipts for any expenses deducted from my security deposit. 2. Normal wear and tear: I believe that several deductions were made for issues that fall under the category of normal wear and tear, which is the landlord's responsibility to repair and maintain. Examples include minor wall scuffs, small nail holes, and carpet fading due to regular use. These deductions disregard the guidelines outlined in the Utah Code Annotated § 57-17-3. 3. Unaddressed repairs: It is important to highlight that certain repairs and maintenance issues were repeatedly reported to you during my tenancy, but unfortunately, were never addressed. These unresolved issues were then inappropriately deducted from my security deposit, despite their pre-existing condition. Paragraph 3: Request for resolution In light of the above concerns, I kindly request that you rectify this situation promptly. I expect the return of the wrongfully deducted amount of [dollar amount] within [number of days] as outlined in the Utah Code Annotated § 57-17-1. Additionally, I kindly request a revised itemized list of deductions, with clear documentation and receipts supporting each expense. Paragraph 4: Legal Action (if necessary) I would like to emphasize my willingness to resolve this matter amicably. However, should you fail to address and rectify this situation within the designated time frame, I may be compelled to take further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant, in accordance with the Utah Landlord-Tenant Act. Conclusion: As a responsible tenant who has upheld all obligations outlined in the rental agreement, I trust that you will address this issue promptly and fairly. Your cooperation in returning the unjustly deducted amount will be greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or clarification.
