This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This form is from a Tenant to Landlord providing Landlord with legal notice of his/her failure to-date to return all of the prepaid but unearned rent. Because Tenant's departure resulted from Landlord's breach of Lease Agreement and/or other wrongful conduct contrary to applicable landlord-tenant law, Tenant is demanding a refund of all prepaid but unearned rent.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as your tenant at [property address] in Visalia, California, regarding the failure to return all prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit, which is recoverable by me, the tenant. As you are aware, I entered into a lease agreement with you for the aforementioned property, effective from [start date] to [end date]. Throughout my tenancy, I have always fulfilled my obligations as a responsible tenant, paying rent on time and maintaining the property in a satisfactory condition. However, as our lease agreement has now come to an end, it is my understanding that I am entitled to the return of any prepaid and unearned rent, along with the security deposit, less any lawful deductions. According to the laws of California, the landlord is required to return the full amount within 21 days after the tenant has vacated the premises, as stipulated in Section 1950.5 of the Civil Code. With this in mind, I regret to inform you that it has been more than 21 days since I handed over the keys and fully vacated the property. Despite several attempts to contact you through phone calls and emails, I have not received any communication or explanation regarding the delay in returning my prepaid rent and security deposit. I kindly request that you provide a written explanation for the delay and a detailed breakdown of any deductions, if applicable, as required by law. Furthermore, I insist that the remaining balance of the prepaid rent and the security deposit, after any lawful deductions, be returned to me promptly. Failing to comply with the legal obligations outlined in the California Civil Code, specifically Section 1950.5, may result in legal action being taken against you, including but not limited to small claims court. I would prefer to resolve this matter amicably and avoid any unnecessary legal proceedings. To ensure transparency and establish a paper trail, I kindly ask for your prompt response to this matter in writing within [reasonable time frame, e.g. 7 days]. This will give us an opportunity to discuss and resolve any outstanding issues regarding the return of the prepaid rent and security deposit in a fair and mutually agreeable manner. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can reach a satisfactory resolution and put this issue behind us. I look forward to receiving your written response at your earliest convenience.
