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 well. I am writing to inform you of some concerns regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon vacating the property located at [Address], in Wake, North Carolina. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to reside in the aforementioned property and for the prompt return of my security deposit within the legally mandated timeframe. However, upon reviewing the itemized list of deductions that accompanied the returned deposit, I have noticed certain discrepancies that I believe warrant further investigation. To begin, it is crucial to mention that I took great care to leave the property in the same condition as when I initially moved in. I maintained regular cleaning and upkeep, and ensured that all repairs were promptly addressed during my tenancy. Therefore, I find it perplexing that charges were applied for repairs and other expenses that were not caused by my actions or the normal wear and tear associated with residency. Specifically, I would like to draw your attention to the following unjustified deductions: 1. Repairs to pre-existing damages: The deductible charges reflect damages that were present in the property prior to my tenancy. It is crucial to note that these issues were documented during the initial move-in inspection, as indicated in the signed lease agreement. Therefore, I request a full refund for any repair costs attributed to these pre-existing damages. 2. Cleaning fees: It has come to my attention that cleaning fees were assessed despite the property being returned in impeccable condition. I spotless the premises, ensuring that all areas were left tidy, sanitized, and free from any debris. To support my claim, I have attached photographs taken upon my departure, illustrating the pristine condition in which I left the property. I kindly request that the cleaning fees be refunded accordingly. 3. Erroneous charges: Some listed deductions are inconsistent or vaguely defined, making it difficult for me to ascertain their legitimacy. Clarification and supporting documentation for any unclear or ambiguous expenses are requested. Furthermore, I urge you to reconsider these charges once their accuracy is confirmed. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request a full refund of the deductions totaling [EX] from my security deposit. I believe it is essential to resolve this matter promptly and amicably. I propose that we schedule a meeting or discuss this issue further to reach a satisfactory resolution without resorting to legal action. Please be aware that North Carolina law requires landlords to return the security deposit within 30 days of the termination of the lease agreement. Failure to comply with this legal obligation, in addition to the wrongful deductions made, may result in legal action being pursued to protect my rights as a tenant. I eagerly await your prompt response and a resolution to this matter. You can reach me at [Your Contact Information] or [Your Email Address]. I request that all future correspondence regarding this matter be done in writing to ensure clarity and for future reference. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
