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.

[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Return of Prepaid Rent, Unearned Rent, and Security Deposit Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to an issue regarding the return of my prepaid rent, unearned rent, and security deposit upon vacating the premises at [Rental Property Address] in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As per our lease agreement dated [Lease Start Date] to [Lease End Date], I prepaid rent in the amount of [Prepaid Rent Amount]. Additionally, I paid a security deposit of [Security Deposit Amount], which remains recoverable by me under the applicable Minnesota statutes. However, despite the termination of the lease agreement and the return of the property on [Move-Out Date], I have yet to receive the full refund of these amounts. I am aware that under Minnesota statutes, landlords are required to return prepaid rent, unearned rent, and any portion of the security deposit not used for damages or unpaid rent within 21 days after the termination of the lease. It has been more than 21 days since the termination date, and your failure to return these funds in a timely manner is a violation of my rights as a tenant. I kindly request that you immediately return the following amounts: 1. Prepaid Rent: [Prepaid Rent Amount] — Please issue a refund for the full prepaid rent amount paid prior to the lease commencement. 2. Unearned Rent: [Unearned Rent Amount] — As per the lease agreement, my tenancy ended on [Move-Out Date], and I had paid rent in advance for the period beyond this date. I request a refund of the unearned rent. 3. Security Deposit: [Security Deposit Amount] — Upon vacating the rental property, the landlord is obligated to return any portion of the security deposit that is recoverable by the tenant under Minnesota law. I request the full refund of the security deposit within the statutory timeframe. If the total sum mentioned above is not returned to me within ten (10) days of receiving this letter, I will be left with no alternative but to pursue legal remedies available to recover the unpaid amounts. Please be advised that under Minnesota law, failure to return prepaid rent and security deposit may result in triple damages awarded to the tenant, as well as payment of attorney fees and legal costs. I suggest we resolve this matter amicably by promptly refunding all the prepaid rent, unearned rent, and security deposit. I would prefer to avoid the time, expenses, and potential legal consequences associated with filing a formal complaint or pursuing legal action. Therefore, I kindly request your immediate attention and adherence to your legal obligations. In anticipation of a swift resolution, I expect your prompt response by [Deadline, usually 10 days from the date of the letter]. I can be reached at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] if you require any further clarification or wish to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Full Name]
