Title: South Bend Indiana Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Content: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the matter of the security deposit I paid upon the commencement of my tenancy at [Rental Property Address] in South Bend, Indiana. As stipulated in the lease agreement, the security deposit was meant to be held in trust and to be returned to me in full upon the termination of my tenancy. It has come to my attention that the return of my security deposit has not been made within the legally mandated time frame, which in Indiana is 45 days. Despite the aforementioned time passed since my tenancy ended on [Tenancy End Date], I have not received any communication or documentation regarding the disposition of the security deposit and its return. According to Indiana Code 32-31-3-12, failure to return the security deposit within the stipulated timeframe may result in the landlord being liable for statutory damages of double the amount wrongfully withheld, as well as attorney fees and court costs. Therefore, I kindly request that you settle this matter promptly by returning my security deposit in full within ten (10) calendar days from the date of this letter. To help facilitate the return process, I have provided the following details pertaining to my tenancy: Tenant Name: [Your Name] Rental Property Address: [Rental Property Address] Tenancy Start Date: [Tenancy Start Date] Tenancy End Date: [Tenancy End Date] Amount of Security Deposit: [Security Deposit Amount] Forwarding Address: [Your New Address] In the event that full reimbursement of the security deposit fails to occur within the given timeframe, I will have no choice but to pursue legal recourse to protect my rights as a tenant. This may result in legal action seeking the maximum allowed statutory damages, as well as any associated attorney fees and court costs. I hope that we can resolve this matter promptly and amicably, without the need for further escalation. I strongly believe in maintaining good tenant-landlord relationships and would prefer to avoid any unnecessary conflict. If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact details. I look forward to your prompt response. Thank you for your attention to this matter and your cooperation.
