[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter regarding my security deposit for the rental property located at [Property Address] in Tempe, Arizona. I recently moved out of the property and was disappointed to discover that you have made deductions from my security deposit that I believe are unjustified and in violation of the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ALTA). Upon vacating the property on [Move-Out Date], I ensured that the property was cleaned thoroughly and left in the same condition as it was when I moved in, except normal wear and tear. The deductions made from my security deposit, as reflected in the itemized statement I received, do not align with these standards and I strongly believe they were wrongful deductions. I have carefully reviewed the itemized statement you provided and would like to address each deduction individually: 1. [Provide the details of the first deduction, including the amount and reason given by the landlord] 2. [Provide the details of the second deduction, including the amount and reason given by the landlord] 3. [Continue to list and address each deduction appropriately] I would like to bring to your attention that as per ALTA, landlords are required to provide tenants with a written notice specifying the reasons for any deductions made from their security deposit within 14 days of the tenant vacating the property. It is crucial to note that the deductions must be reasonable and must be directly related to actual damages caused by the tenant beyond normal wear and tear. Upon careful examination, it is evident that many of the deductions made by you clearly do not fall within these legal guidelines. I kindly request that you promptly reimburse the wrongfully deducted amount of [Total Wrongful Deductions] from my security deposit within 14 days of receiving this letter. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to take further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. Please provide the refund in the form of a cashier's check or money order made payable to [Your Name] and mailed to the address mentioned above. Moreover, I kindly request that you provide me with a revised itemized statement that accurately reflects any permissible deductions, clearly explaining the reasoning behind each deduction made. I believe in maintaining a good landlord-tenant relationship, and I hope we can resolve this matter amicably. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving a swift response and the return of my wrongfully deducted security deposit.
