[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter concerning my security deposit for the rental property located at [Rental Property Address] in High Point, North Carolina. As per our lease agreement dated [Date of Lease Agreement], I am entitled to the return of my security deposit within a certain timeframe after the termination of my tenancy. Unfortunately, despite the termination of my tenancy on [Date of Tenancy Termination], I have not received my security deposit or any communication from you regarding its return. This failure to adhere to the specific provisions outlined in our lease agreement is a violation of North Carolina's landlord-tenant laws. Under the North Carolina Tenant Security Deposit Act, within 30 days of the termination of a lease, the landlord is required to return the tenant's security deposit along with an itemized statement of any deductions made. I have waited patiently for this deadline to elapse to afford you ample time to fulfill your obligations. I have meticulously complied with the terms of our agreement, ensuring that the property was returned to its original condition, excluding any normal wear and tear. Your failure to meet your obligations as a landlord puts me in a financially burdensome situation, and I kindly request that you rectify this immediately. Failure to return the security deposit within 10 business days from the receipt of this letter or provide a detailed explanation for any deductions made will leave me no choice but to take legal action to recover the full amount of my security deposit, along with any associated legal fees and damages allowed under North Carolina law. I believe that it is in both our interests to settle this matter without resorting to legal actions. Therefore, I kindly request that you respond promptly to this notice and provide a proposed date for the return of my security deposit or a detailed explanation for any deductions made. I eagerly await your immediate attention to this matter and a satisfactory resolution. Please provide your response in writing within 10 business days from the date of this letter. Failure to respond within this timeframe will force me to pursue legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant under North Carolina law. Thank you for your cooperation. I trust this matter will be resolved expeditiously and amicably. Sincerely, [Your Name]
