Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a letter from the Tenant to Landlord containing notice of wrongful deductions from the security deposit anda demand for return. This form complies with state statutory law. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of concern regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon moving out of my rental property at [Property Address] in Wichita, Kansas. Firstly, allow me to highlight the specific deductions that I believe to be wrongful. After carefully reviewing the itemized list provided, it has come to my attention that there are several charges that were either unjustified or exceed the scope of normal wear and tear. These deductions include: 1. Cleaning Fees: According to the lease agreement, I fulfilled my responsibility to return the property in a clean and tidy condition. I strongly disagree with the claimed cleaning fees as my efforts ensured the property was left in a satisfactory state. 2. Repair Charges: The deduction relating to repairs goes beyond the reasonable expectations outlined in the lease agreement. Normal wear and tear, which is factored in when renting a property, should not result in excessive charges for minor damages that can be expected over time. 3. Replacement Costs: Furthermore, the charges claiming the need for replacements are excessive and unfounded. I took great care in maintaining the property and any damages or deterioration should be regarded as normal wear and tear. Given the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request a thorough reconsideration of the deductions made from my security deposit. I have enclosed copies of the relevant sections of the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (KSA 58-2550 et seq.) for your reference, specifically emphasizing the regulations regarding security deposit deductions. It is important to note that the act specifies that if deductions are made, the landlord must provide a written itemized statement detailing the deductions and their purpose within 30 days. In accordance with the aforementioned act and its provisions, I expect the return of my security deposit within [number of days, typically 30] from the date of receiving this letter. Failure to comply may result in further legal action. I am open to discussing this matter further and reaching a reasonable resolution. I kindly request that you promptly address this issue and provide a response within [number of days] detailing how you plan to rectify the wrongful deductions made from my security deposit. You may reach me at [Tenant's Phone Number] or [Tenant's Email Address]. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to resolving it amicably. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Phone Number] [Tenant's Email Address]
