Description

This is a formal demand letter from a Tenant to Landlord demanding return of Tenant's security deposit after vacating the premises. This form informs Landlord that he/she has a limited number of days as permitted by state statutory law to refund Tenant's deposit or legal sanctions may ensue.

Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and that you are managing well amidst the ongoing circumstances. I am writing regarding a matter that requires your immediate attention. This letter serves as a notice of your failure to return my security deposit and a demand for its prompt reimbursement. As you are aware, I vacated the property located at [Address of Rental Property] in Fort Collins, Colorado on [move-out date]. During the move-out process, we completed the necessary inspection, and you assured me that there were no outstanding issues or damages that would justify withholding any portion of the security deposit. Upon our mutual agreement and acknowledgment of the property's condition, we signed a move-out checklist, whereby I officially relinquished possession of the rental unit. According to the Colorado landlord-tenant laws, specifically the Colorado Security Deposit Act (C.R.S. §§ 38-12-101 to 38-12-104), you are required to return the security deposit within one month after the termination of the lease agreement. However, it has been well over [number of days/months] since the termination, yet I have not received any communication or reimbursement from you. I would appreciate an immediate explanation as to why my security deposit has not been returned. I have fulfilled all my obligations as a tenant during the lease term, and I expect the same level of diligence and professionalism from you as a landlord. Failure to provide a response or rectify this matter promptly will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal actions to secure the return of my security deposit, as provided for by Colorado law. Furthermore, it is crucial to note that the Colorado Security Deposit Act allows tenants to seek damages equal to three times the amount wrongfully withheld, along with reasonable attorney fees and court costs incurred during the legal proceedings. I remain hopeful that such measures can be avoided if you promptly return the security deposit in full. To facilitate the refund process, please provide a detailed explanation of any deductions made from the security deposit. If there are legitimate deductions, please provide itemized receipts or invoices supporting the expenses incurred. These documents must be sent to the address below within [reasonable timeframe, typically 10-14 days] from the receipt of this letter: [Your Full Name] [Your Current Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] I advise that you retain a copy of this letter for your records and send the response via certified mail with a return receipt, ensuring legal documentation of the communication. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve this issue amicably without resorting to expensive and time-consuming legal proceedings. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your New Address] [City, State, ZIP Code]
