Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This form is from a Tenant to Landlord providing Landlord with legal notice of his/her failure to-date to return all of the prepaid but unearned rent. Because Tenant's departure resulted from Landlord's breach of Lease Agreement and/or other wrongful conduct contrary to applicable landlord-tenant law, Tenant is demanding a refund of all prepaid but unearned rent. Subject: Urgent — Discrepancies in Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit Refund — Demand for Full Recovery Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of utmost urgency regarding the return of my prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit, following the termination of my tenancy at [Property Address, City, State]. It has come to my attention that there may have been oversights or miscommunications that have led to an improper withholding of these funds. As per our lease agreement, I fulfilled all obligations throughout my tenancy and have vacated the premises on [Move-Out Date] accordingly. However, I was troubled to receive the partial refund of the prepaid rent and security deposit, as it falls significantly short of what was agreed upon and is rightfully owed to me. Upon thorough review of the lease terms, it is evident that any prepaid rent and security deposit should be fully refunded to me upon termination of the lease agreement, given the property's condition is satisfactory and all financial obligations have been settled. This includes any outstanding utility bills, repairs, or damages, which I promptly addressed and cleared prior to handing over the property to you. To provide clarity, I have included a comprehensive breakdown of the amounts that were prepaid and unearned rent, as well as the security deposit: 1. Prepaid and Unearned Rent: — [Start Date of Lease— - [Move-Out Date]: Total rent for the entire lease period was prepaid in the amount of $[Full Prepaid Rent Amount]. Deducting the rent for the actual duration of my occupancy (from [Move-In Date] until [Move-Out Date]), the amount of unearned rent remains $[Unearned Rent Amount]. 2. Security Deposit: — Upon signing the lease agreement, a security deposit of $[Security Deposit Amount] was submitted. The purpose of this deposit is to safeguard against any damages or other expenses that might arise during my tenancy. However, no such legitimate claims have been made to justify retaining any portion of the security deposit. Considering the aforementioned details, it is evident that I am entitled to the full refund of the unearned rent ($[Unearned Rent Amount]) and the total security deposit ($[Security Deposit Amount]) amounting to $[Total Refund Amount]. Therefore, it is imperative that you promptly return the entire sum in question within [Timeframe, typically 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. In the event that there has been an oversight or misunderstanding, I believe it is essential to swiftly rectify the matter to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Should there be any valid justifications for withholding a portion of the prepaid rent or security deposit, I kindly request you provide detailed documentation outlining the specifics of these deductions, as well as any applicable state laws relating to the handling of security deposits. Please be aware that a failure to respond or resolve this discrepancy within the given timeframe will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to recover the owed amount, in accordance with [State's Laws and Regulations regarding Tenant Rights and Legal Recourse]. I hope, however, that it does not come to that, and we can resolve this matter amiably. I look forward to your immediate attention to this matter and a timely resolution. Thank you for your cooperation.
