Title: Hayward California Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit Dear [Landlord's Name], Re: Failure to Return Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to address the unresolved matter concerning the return of my prepaid rent and security deposit at the property located at [property address] in Hayward, California. Despite my repeated attempts to contact you and discuss this issue, it has remained unresolved, leading me to resort to this formal communication. According to the State of California Tenant's Rights, it is mandated that the landlord must return any prepaid rent and security deposit within 21 days of the tenant vacating the rental property, unless extenuating circumstances exist. It is regrettable that I have not received the appropriate refund within the stipulated time frame. I want to briefly summarize the details to ensure clarity about my claim: 1. Prepaid Rent: As per the rental agreement, I prepaid rent for the period of [start date] to [end date]. I have fulfilled my obligations by adhering to the terms of the lease agreement, vacating the premises on [move-out date], and leaving the property in its original condition. Thus, I expect a refund for the remaining prepaid rent after deducting any legal liabilities. 2. Security Deposit: I submitted a security deposit of $[amount] on [security deposit date] at the beginning of my lease term. I am grateful to mention that I diligently maintained the property, and there were no damages beyond normal wear and tear during my occupancy. Per the California Civil Code Section 1950.5, I am entitled to receive the full security deposit amount, duly accounting for any valid deductions, within the specified timeframe. To address this matter promptly and amicably, I kindly request that you take the following actions: 1. Provide a full account statement with a breakdown of any deductions made from my prepaid rent and security deposit. 2. Return the remaining prepaid rent amount owed to me within 14 days from the receipt of this letter. 3. Refund the complete security deposit, minus any legitimate deductions, within the same timeframe. 4. Provide a detailed explanation, in writing, for any deductions made from the security deposit. This should include itemized reasons supported by receipts or estimates for the repairs and cleaning costs. Please note that the State of California Tenant's Rights outlines penalties for landlords who fail to comply with refund regulations. I sincerely hope we can rectify this matter without resorting to further legal actions. Should you choose not to address this issue promptly or fail to provide a satisfactory resolution, I may be compelled to take legal action, file a complaint with the relevant authorities, or seek assistance from the local renter's association. I believe it is in both of our interests to resolve this matter swiftly and amicably. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter, and I expect to receive a response within the next 7 days of this letter. Please contact me at [your contact details] to discuss and arrange the return of my prepaid rent and security deposit. Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation.
