This is a formal demand letter from a Tenant to Landlord demanding return of Tenant's security deposit after vacating the premises. This form informs Landlord that he/she has a limited number of days as permitted by state statutory law to refund Tenant's deposit or legal sanctions may ensue.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding the security deposit I paid upon signing the lease for the property located at [Rental Property Address] in Renton, Washington. As you are aware, I have now vacated the premises and returned the keys as per our agreed-upon move-out date of [MM/DD/YYY]. It has been [number of days/weeks/months] since I moved out, and I have not received any communication or refund concerning my security deposit. According to the Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RCW 59.18), landlords are required to return the security deposit within [number of days] after the tenant moves out. It is my understanding that you have failed to fulfill this legal obligation. I kindly request that you promptly return my security deposit in full, totaling [dollar amount] no later than [MM/DD/YYY]. If you fail to do so, please be aware that I will have no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me to ensure its return. It is noteworthy to mention that, prior to moving out, I spotless the rental property and ensured it was in the same condition as when I initially moved in, except for reasonable wear and tear. Therefore, unless there are legitimate deductions that you intend to make from the security deposit, I expect to receive the full amount. Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of relevant documents, including the signed lease agreement, receipts of payment for rent and utilities, and photographs documenting the condition of the property at move-out. These documents serve as evidence and support my claim for the return of the full security deposit. I strongly believe that addressing this matter promptly and amicably will be in both of our best interests. I trust that we can resolve this dispute without involving legal authorities. However, if necessary, I am prepared to seek legal guidance to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I kindly request that you respond in writing within [number of days] of receiving this letter. If I do not hear from you or receive my security deposit as requested, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution.
