Subject: Tucson, Arizona Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of utmost importance regarding the security deposit I submitted upon moving into the [Apartment/House/Unit] located at [Property Address], Tucson, Arizona, [ZIP Code]. As per the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, specifically A.R.S. § 33-1321, it states that a landlord is required to return the security deposit within 14 days after the termination of the tenancy, accompanied by an itemized list of deductions if any. It has now been more than [number of days elapsed since tenancy ended] since the termination of my tenancy, and I have yet to receive any communication from you regarding the return of my security deposit. Despite leaving the premises in a clean and undamaged condition, I am distressed to find that my deposit has not been refunded.

Please be aware that failure to return my security deposit or provide a detailed itemized list of deductions within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] from the date of this letter will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to recover my deposit. Pursuant to Arizona law, such actions may entail not only the actual damages I have suffered but also entitle me to seek treble damages if it is determined that you acted in bad faith.
