[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] 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 an issue regarding the return of my security deposit for the rental property located at [rental address], in Daly City, California. As my tenancy has officially ended, I have noticed that there have been wrongful deductions made from my security deposit. Firstly, upon conducting a thorough review of my security deposit statement, I have discovered that certain charges have been unjustly deducted. It is important to note that these deductions were not discussed or agreed upon prior to my moving out and are not in compliance with the laws and regulations stated by the state of California. According to the Daly City Tenant-Landlord Guidelines, any deductions from the security deposit must be made only for specific reasons, such as unpaid rent, cleaning fees beyond normal wear and tear, or damage caused by the tenant. Here are the discrepancies I have identified within the security deposit statement: 1. Unjustified Cleaning Charges: — [Describe the specific charges and why they are unjustified] — [Mention any efforts made to leave the property clean and in good condition] 2. Arbitrary Repair Costs: — [Explain any repairs mentioned in the statement and why they are not tenant's responsibility] — [Provide evidence of any existing damages reported during the move-in inspection] 3. Other Miscellaneous Charges: — [Outline any additional charges that were not discussed or agreed upon] — [Support your claim with any documentation or evidence if available] I strongly believe that these deductions are unfounded and in violation of tenant rights as per California law. In light of this, I kindly request the immediate return of the wrongfully withheld portion of my security deposit, amounting to $[total amount]. I expect this full refund, inclusive of any interest accrued, to be returned within [specify a reasonable deadline, typically within 21 days as mandated by California law] from the date of receipt of this letter. Failure to comply with this demand within the specified time frame may result in further legal action, including but not limited to filing a complaint with the relevant authorities and seeking legal representation. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any unnecessary escalation. Please note that I have kept copies of all correspondences, documents, and evidence related to this matter for my records and potential legal use in the future. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter and appreciate your cooperation. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided email address or phone number. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
