Description

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. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP code] Subject: Failure of Landlord to Return Prepaid Rent, Unearned Rent, and Security Deposit Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern and disappointment regarding your failure to return all prepaid rent, unearned rent, and the security deposit owed to me in accordance with the laws and regulations governing tenant-landlord relationships in Hennepin County, Minnesota. According to the lease agreement for the property located at [Address], I paid a total of [Amount] as a security deposit and [Amount] as prepaid rent. The lease agreement clearly states that the security deposit and any unearned rent must be returned to the tenant upon terminating the lease, provided there are no outstanding financial obligations or damages to the property beyond ordinary wear and tear. As per Minnesota Statute 504B.178, a landlord is required to return the tenant's security deposit within 21 days after the termination of the lease, along with an itemized statement specifying any deductions made. In addition, prepaid rent should be refunded if the tenant has properly terminated the lease before the term's completion. Unfortunately, it has now been [number of days/weeks/months] since I vacated the premises, and I have yet to receive any communication or reimbursement from you regarding the return of my prepaid rent, unearned rent, and security deposit. This situation not only represents a breach of our lease agreement but also violates the legal rights I am entitled to as a tenant under Hennepin County's regulations. I kindly request that you immediately take the necessary steps to rectify this issue and return the full amount owed to me. Failure to do so will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. Please consider this letter as my formal demand for the return of the prepaid rent, unearned rent, and security deposit within [reasonable time frame, such as 7-14 days] from the receipt of this letter. In the event that I am forced to engage legal counsel and go through the court system to recover the owed funds, I would be entitled to recover not only the full amount owed to me but also any legal fees incurred in the process. It is my sincere hope that we can avoid such a course of action and resolve this matter in a fair and amicable manner. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter. If I do not receive the owed funds or a satisfactory response within the specified timeframe, I will have no choice but to escalate this issue further. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter by providing a written response within [reasonable time frame, such as 5 business days]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving the full reimbursement owed to me. Sincerely, [Your Name]
