Subject: Wichita Kansas Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding my tenancy at [Property Address] in Wichita, Kansas. Despite the end of our lease agreement and my compliance with all the terms, I have encountered an issue that demands your immediate attention and resolution. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to the prepaid rent for the month of [Month] which I had remitted to you upon signing the lease agreement. According to the terms outlined in the lease, this prepaid rent was to be credited towards the final month of my tenancy. However, upon vacating the premises on [Date], I discovered that the prepaid rent amount has not been duly applied, as the full amount remains unreturned. Furthermore, I am deeply concerned with the mishandling of my security deposit. As per the Kansas Landlord-Tenant Act, you are required to return the security deposit, or provide me with an itemized statement explaining any deductions within 30 days of the lease's termination. Regrettably, this timeline has passed, and I have yet to receive any refund or communication from you regarding the disposition of my security deposit. As a tenant, I have diligently fulfilled my responsibilities by maintaining the property in good condition throughout the tenancy. I have left the premises in the same condition as it was when I moved in, with only reasonable wear and tear. Hence, I can find no justification for withholding my prepaid rent and the security deposit. Failure to return prepaid rent and security deposit within the specified legal timeframe puts you in breach of our lease agreement and the state statutes, leaving me no choice but to seek legal recourse if this matter remains unresolved. I expect immediate action to rectify this situation without any further delay. In order to resolve this matter amicably, I kindly request that you provide a written response within seven (7) days of receiving this letter. In your response, please specify when and how I can expect to receive the full amount of the prepaid rent and security deposit or provide a detailed itemization of any deductions made. Please note, if a resolution is not reached, I will have no option but to retain the services of legal counsel to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies through the judicial system. I would prefer to avoid such a course of action and work together to resolve this matter promptly. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate a swift resolution and appreciate your cooperation in resolving what I believe to be a misunderstanding or oversight. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Phone Number] [Email Address] --- Alternate versions of the letter can be tailored when the following circumstances apply: 1. When the landlord partially returns the security deposit but fails to return the prepaid rent: Subject: Wichita Kansas Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid Rent 2.
