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 address a pressing matter regarding the return of prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit that is recoverable by me, as your tenant. It has come to my attention that there has been a failure on your part to fulfill your obligations in this regard. As per the terms laid out in our rental agreement, it is stated that upon the termination of the lease, you are responsible for returning any prepaid rent that has not been used, the unearned rent for the remaining period of the lease, and the security deposit, after deducting any reasonable expenses for damages or unpaid rent. Unfortunately, it has now been [number of days/months] since I vacated the premises, and I have yet to receive any communication from you or the return of the aforementioned funds. I understand that there may be circumstances preventing the immediate resolution of this matter, but it is essential to note that the delay in returning these funds is causing financial hardship for me. I have conducted my own research to ensure that I am aware of my rights and responsibilities as a tenant, specifically in Miami Gardens, Florida. According to the laws of Florida, specifically Section 83.49 (3)(a), it is outlined that the landlord has [number of days] to return the prepaid rent, unearned rent, and security deposit after the tenant has moved out, unless the landlord provides a written notice to the tenant, itemizing the reasons for the retention of a portion or all of the security deposit and any prepaid rent. Such a notice must be sent within 30 days of the tenant vacating the premises. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in legal consequences for the landlord, including potential liability for triple the amount of the security deposit, as stated by Section 83.49 (3)(d). Given this legal framework, I kindly request that you promptly initiate the process of returning the prepaid rent, unearned rent, and security deposit, excluding any reasonable deductions that may apply. I believe that an amicable resolution can be achieved, preventing any unnecessary escalation of the matter. If, however, I do not receive a satisfactory response from you within [reasonable time frame], I will be left with no alternative but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant and seek the recovery of the owed funds, as well as the potential triple damages specified by Florida law. I sincerely hope it does not come to that, as I value our current landlord-tenant relationship. In the spirit of resolving this matter in a timely and fair manner, I kindly request that you provide me with a written response, confirming the steps you will be taking to fulfill your obligations as stated in this letter. It is my hope that we can reach a mutually agreeable solution and bring this matter to a swift resolution. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon and resolving this issue peacefully. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Phone Number] [Tenant's Email Address]
