I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding my tenancy at [rental property address]. As a responsible tenant, I fulfilled my obligations by paying rent in advance and providing a security deposit upon moving in. However, I regret to inform you that despite the termination of my lease agreement on [lease end date], you have failed to return all the prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit that is recoverable by me, as outlined in Massachusetts law. According to the relevant Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186, Section 15B, landlords are required to return the tenant's prepaid rent and any unearned portion promptly after the termination of the tenancy, not exceeding thirty (30) days. Additionally, the security deposit must be returned within that same time frame, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by both parties. As I understand it, I provided a security deposit of [amount] on [move-in date], which should be returned to me in full, as I have fulfilled all the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. Moreover, due to my decision to vacate the property earlier than the agreed-upon lease term, there is an unearned portion of prepaid rent that should also be refunded to me.

If the full amount of the prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit, is not returned within thirty (30) days from the termination of my lease, I may be forced to take legal action to protect my rights as a tenant under the Massachusetts statutes. Pursuant to the law, such an action may entitle me to triple damages, attorney's fees, and costs incurred, if the court finds that your failure to return the funds was willful or without good cause.

Failure to comply with these legal obligations may result in further actions being pursued. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response.
