I am writing to address the matter regarding the return of my security deposit from the property located at [Rental Property Address], as my lease agreement has come to an end. As per the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act of Arizona, specifically Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 33, Chapter 10, Section 33-1321, upon termination of the lease agreement, the landlord is required to refund the full or partial deposit within 14 business days, unless specific deductions are allowed under the law and clearly described in writing. It has been more than [number of days beyond 14 business days] since I have vacated the rental property, and I have yet to receive any communication or my security deposit refund from you. This failure to meet the legal obligations outlined in the aforementioned statute has left me with no choice but to formally request the return of my security deposit without further delay. To ensure clarity and transparency, I have compiled a detailed breakdown of the initial deposit and any legitimate deductions which should be returned to me: 1. Security Deposit Amount: $[Security Deposit Amount] 2. Renters Insurance: $[Amount deducted for required renters insurance] 3. Cleaning Fee: $[Amount deducted for cleaning services] 4. Repairs/Maintenance: $[Amount deducted for repairs or maintenance] 5. Miscellaneous Deductions: $[Other legitimate deductions, if applicable] Total Deductions: $[Total Amount Deducted] Therefore, I demand that the remaining balance of my security deposit, totaling $[Total Deposit Amount — Total Deductions], be returned to me promptly. Please be advised that if I do not receive my security deposit within [number of days, usually 5-7 business days], I will be left with no alternative but to pursue legal action to ensure the full return of my deposit as well as any additional statutory damages that may apply.

You may reach me at the contact information provided above should you need further details or clarification. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect a swift resolution to avoid any unnecessary legal escalation.
