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 well. I am writing to you as a concerned tenant of the property located at [Property Address] in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention an issue regarding wrongful deductions from my security deposit and request a prompt return of the remaining amount. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for providing me with a comfortable living space during my tenancy at your property. However, upon vacating the premises on [Move-out Date], I received a statement detailing various deductions from my security deposit, which I find to be unjustified and incorrect. After a thorough review of my lease agreement, New Mexico landlord-tenant laws, and relevant local ordinances, I have discovered discrepancies and violations in the deductions made from my security deposit. It is important to note that as a tenant, I have fulfilled all my obligations, including paying my rent on time, responsibly maintaining the property, and leaving it in good condition at the end of my lease term. The deductions made from my security deposit include: 1. [Describe Deduction]: [Provide specific details, such as the amount deducted, the alleged damages, and any supporting evidence or documentation you may have to dispute the deduction]. 2. [Describe Deduction]: [Repeat the process above for each additional deduction, if applicable]. Based on my thorough understanding of the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and landlords, I firmly believe that these deductions are wrongful and not in compliance with New Mexico landlord-tenant laws. I have enclosed copies of relevant documents, including the move-in inspection report, pictures of the property upon move-out, and any other supporting evidence that disproves the necessity and accuracy of these deductions. With this in mind, I kindly request the prompt return of the remaining amount of my security deposit, which should reflect the deductions being corrected. Pursuant to New Mexico law, you are required to either return the full deposit within 30 days of the termination of the lease or provide a detailed written notice explaining any deductions and supporting documentation. Failure to comply with the New Mexico landlord-tenant laws regarding the return of security deposits within the specified time frame may result in legal action being pursued to protect my rights as a tenant. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve this matter amicably without further escalation. If you wish to discuss this matter further, or if you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. I urge you to rectify this situation promptly to avoid any unnecessary legal proceedings. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving the corrected security deposit in a timely manner. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] [Your Current Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date]
