Title: Fargo, North Dakota Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit --- Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter concerning my tenancy at [Rental Property Address]. As you are aware, I have recently vacated the premises on [Move-out Date], and it has come to my attention that there has been an oversight in returning all the prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit recoverable by me, the Tenant. According to North Dakota state laws on landlord-tenant relationships, upon the termination of tenancy, landlords are required to return any prepaid rent and any portion of the security deposit that remains after deductions, within a certain timeframe. It appears that this legal obligation has been neglected. I would like to bring to your attention the specific issues that require your immediate attention and resolution: 1. Prepaid Rent: As per our agreed-upon lease terms, I have paid rent in advance for the period of [Date of Prepaid Rent Start] to [Date of Prepaid Rent End]. However, upon vacating the premises on [Move-out Date], a portion of the prepaid rent remains utilized. I request a prompt refund of this unearned rent in accordance with North Dakota tenancy laws. 2. Security Deposit: I have conscientiously upheld my responsibilities as a tenant, leaving the rental property in good condition as stated in the lease agreement. Therefore, I expect the full return of my security deposit, minus any lawful deductions. Please note that any deductions made from the security deposit must be accompanied by a detailed written explanation, including receipts or invoices where necessary, within the statutory timeframe outlined by the North Dakota Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Therefore, I kindly request that you rectify this matter promptly by: 1. Returning the unearned rent of [Amount in Dollars] for the period of [Date of Prepaid Rent Start] to [Date of Prepaid Rent End]. 2. Returning the security deposit of [Amount in Dollars], within the legally mandated timeframe. Failure to address this matter promptly in accordance with North Dakota tenancy laws will leave me with no alternative but to pursue further legal action to assert my rights as a tenant. I trust that we can resolve this issue amicably, without resorting to any legal actions. I appreciate your attention to this matter and eagerly await a speedy resolution.
