[Incorrect Deduction 1]: On [Date], you deducted [Amount $] from my security deposit for [Reason]. However, according to the lease agreement, this does not fall under the categories of permissible deductions, and the condition of the property at move-out was consistent with the agreed-upon move-in condition. 2. [Incorrect Deduction 2]: On [Date], you deducted [Amount $] from my security deposit for [Reason]. It is important to note that [Reason] is not valid grounds for deduction as per Ohio state law and the provisions outlined in the lease agreement. 3.

To ensure a fair resolution to this matter, I kindly request that you provide a detailed breakdown of the deductions made and the supporting evidence justifying each deduction. Please provide this information within [time frame, typically 10 days] from the date of receiving this letter. I would like to remind you that Ohio state law, specifically the Ohio Revised Code Section [Relevant Section], protects the rights of tenants in matters concerning security deposits. The law obliges landlords to return the security deposit within a reasonable timeframe and only make lawful deductions explicitly listed in the lease agreement. Should you agree to promptly return the wrongfully deducted amount, I assure you that this situation can be resolved amicably and without any further escalation. I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
