Anchorage Alaska Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Subject: Urgent Request for Security Deposit Return 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 that I submitted upon moving into the rental property at [Rental Property Address in Anchorage]. As per the terms of our lease agreement and the relevant laws and regulations, I am formally requesting the return of my security deposit in full. It has been [number of days/weeks/months since lease termination date], well exceeding the legally mandated time frame for returning the security deposit. As per the Alaska Security Deposit Act, landlords must return the deposit within 14 days upon lease termination or provide a written explanation for any deductions made from the deposit. I have meticulously fulfilled all of my obligations as a tenant during my stay at the rental property. The property was returned to you on the agreed-upon termination date, in a clean and well-maintained condition. I have not caused any damage beyond normal wear and tear, and I have even documented the property's condition upon moving out as evidence of its cleanliness and maintenance. Additionally, I have enclosed copies of the move-in and move-out inspection reports, as well as the photographs I took prior to vacating the premises, to support my claim of leaving the property in acceptable condition.

Accordingly, I request an immediate return of the full security deposit amount of [amount paid] within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 calendar days] from the date of receipt of this letter by certified mail. Failure to return the security deposit in full within the specified period will leave me with no choice but to seek legal assistance to assert my rights as a tenant and pursue the appropriate remedies provided for by law, including but not limited to filing a complaint with the appropriate housing authority, seeking legal damages, and pursuing all available legal recourse. I trust that this matter can be resolved promptly and amicably. However, should it become necessary to engage in further legal action, please be aware that I will hold you responsible for any additional costs or legal fees incurred. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you have any questions or require further documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your contact information].
