The deductions claimed by you appear to exceed the reasonable and necessary expenses permitted by Cincinnati Ohio tenant laws. 3. Explanation of Cincinnati Ohio Tenant Laws: Under Cincinnati Ohio tenant laws, landlords must adhere to specific regulations when deducting costs from a tenant's security deposit.

Cincinnati Ohio law requires landlords to prove that the cleaning expenses incurred were necessary and beyond the tenant's responsibilities. 5. Request for Resolution: I hereby request that you promptly review the deductions made from my security deposit and provide a detailed explanation, supported by receipts or invoices conforming to Cincinnati Ohio tenant laws, for each expense deducted.
