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. [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 Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to dispute the deductions made from my security deposit and to formally demand the return of the wrongfully withheld amount. As a tenant at [rental property address], I believe my security deposit was not handled in accordance with the laws and terms of our lease agreement. It is important to acknowledge that upon vacating the premises on [move-out date], I left the rental property in good condition, complying with all the terms outlined in the lease agreement. However, upon receiving the statement detailing the deductions made from my security deposit, I was surprised and disappointed to discover the inaccurate charges and wrongful deductions. After careful review, I have identified the specific deductions that are in violation of my rights as a tenant and the terms of our lease. These wrongful deductions include: 1. [Keyword: Improper Cleaning Charges] Despite leaving the rental property in a clean and sanitary condition, I have been charged an excessive amount for cleaning services that were not necessary or were beyond normal wear and tear. I expect these charges to be promptly refunded. 2. [Keyword: Unjustified Repairs and Maintenance Costs] Certain repairs and maintenance costs have been deducted from my security deposit without proper justification or documentation. I find these charges unsubstantiated and request a detailed breakdown and receipts to support such deductions. If these expenses were a result of damages beyond normal wear and tear, I ask for evidence validating the necessity of these repairs. 3. [Keyword: Unreturned Prepaid Rent or Utility Deposits] It has come to my attention that my security deposit may have been improperly used to cover any outstanding rent or utility deposit amounts. As specified by the New Hampshire Tenant Security Deposit Act, security deposits should not be applied towards rent deductions unless explicitly agreed upon in the lease agreement. If any rent or utility deposit amounts were deducted from my security deposit, I demand immediate reimbursement. Under New Hampshire law, tenants are entitled to the return of their security deposit, minus any lawful deductions, within thirty (30) days from their move-out date. As per our lease agreement, the security deposit amount was [security deposit amount]. It is my belief that after correcting the aforementioned wrongful deductions, the remaining balance, if any, should be returned to me promptly in compliance with the legal requirements. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any escalation. To facilitate a fair resolution, I request that you provide me with an itemized statement justifying each deduction made from my security deposit and any supporting documentation within ten (10) days of receiving this letter. Failure to adhere to the New Hampshire Tenant Security Deposit Act and to return the wrongfully withheld amount within the specified time frame may leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. Please consider this letter as my formal notice of dispute and demand for the return of the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit. I look forward to a favorable resolution to this matter. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. Sincerely, [Your Name]
