Title: West Covina California Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure of Landlord to return all prepaid and unearned rent and security recoverable by Tenant Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter concerning the return of prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit, which I am entitled to receive upon termination of my tenancy agreement at [Rental Property Address] in West Covina, California. Despite fulfilling all obligations and providing timely notice of my intent to vacate the premises, I have not received the full amount owed to me. This letter serves as my formal request for the immediate return of all recoverable funds and highlights the consequences of non-compliance, as per the laws and regulations governing tenancy in the state of California. Paragraph 1: Terminating the Tenancy Agreement and Unearned Rent In accordance with the terms of our tenancy agreement, I provided the required written notice on [Date], informing you of my intent to vacate the premises at [Rental Property Address]. Please recognize that as of the date of this letter, I have surrendered the keys and returned possession of the property to you. Despite this, I have yet to receive a refund of the unearned rent for the remaining period I paid in advance. California's law stipulates that in cases of early termination, landlords are obligated to refund the tenants any prepaid rent amount, and I kindly request immediate repayment of the unearned and pro-rated rent. Paragraph 2: Retrieving the Security Deposit Additionally, it is my expectation that you promptly return my security deposit in full. As per California Civil Code Section 1950.5, landlords are required to either return the full deposit or provide an itemized statement outlining the deductions made within 21 days of the termination of the tenancy. It has now been [Number of days since move-out date] days since my move-out, and I have yet to receive any communication from you regarding the return of my security deposit. I urge you to comply with these statutory guidelines and request that you promptly send me the full amount of my security deposit without unnecessary delay. Paragraph 3: Consequences of Non-Compliance It is essential that you understand the seriousness of failure to comply with California's laws regarding the return of prepaid rent and security deposits. Unjustifiably withholding these funds entitles me to recover up to twice the amount wrongfully withheld, as outlined in Section 1950.5 of the California Civil Code. Please be aware that I will have no choice but to take legal action to protect my rights if my request is not addressed within [a reasonable timeframe — suggest 5-10 business days]. I would prefer to resolve this matter amicably, without resorting to litigation, but I am prepared to escalate the situation if necessary. Closing: I trust that you will promptly address this issue and ensure the full refund of all prepaid and unearned rent, in addition to my security deposit. I kindly request that you provide me with an itemized statement outlining any deductions you have made if applicable, and a clear timeline for when I can expect to receive the funds owed. Failure to do so will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action and file a complaint with the appropriate authorities. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
