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 in good health. I am writing to address an issue regarding the deduction made from my security deposit upon the termination of my lease agreement for [rented property address] in Raleigh, North Carolina. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to rent the above-mentioned property, and for your promptness in addressing any maintenance or repair concerns throughout my tenancy. However, after conducting a thorough review of my move-out inspection report, I have noticed a discrepancy pertaining to the deductions made from my security deposit. Specifically, I believe that the deductions made were wrongful, and I am requesting their immediate return. My main contention points are as follows: 1. Failure to provide a detailed itemized statement: According to North Carolina General Statute § 42-52(b)(2), tenants are entitled to receive a written itemized statement explaining the deductions made from their security deposit within 30 days of lease termination. However, I have not received any such statement, which is in violation of the statute. I kindly request that you rectify this by promptly providing a detailed breakdown of the deductions made. 2. Excessive charges for repair and cleaning: Upon vacating the premises, I ensured that the property was left in a similar, if not better, condition than when I moved in. It has come to my attention that there were deductions from my security deposit for repairs and cleaning that were unjustified. I insist that you provide receipts or invoices confirming the expenses and detailing the repairs or cleaning services performed. 3. Failure to return the remaining security deposit: According to North Carolina law, landlords are required to return the remaining portion of the security deposit, if any, within 30 days of lease termination. As the deductions made were wrongful, I demand the full return of my security deposit within 14 days of receiving this letter. Failure to comply with this request may result in further legal action. I believe in maintaining good tenant-landlord relationships and resolving disputes amicably. With that in mind, I kindly request your immediate attention and cooperation in resolving this matter. I believe that a fair and prompt resolution could eliminate any need for escalating this issue further. Should you wish to discuss this matter in more detail or require any additional information from my end, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your contact number]. I expect to hear from you within the aforementioned time frame. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to resolving it with your cooperation. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]
