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. Title: Oklahoma City Tenant's Letter to Landlord: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. My purpose in writing today is to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the deductions made from my security deposit, which I believe to be wrongful. I respectfully request that you rectify this matter promptly. Having diligently reviewed the lease agreement and relevant tenant protection laws in the state of Oklahoma, specifically in Oklahoma City, I have discovered several discrepancies with the deductions made from my security deposit. These discrepancies directly contradict the provisions outlined in our lease contract. Firstly, as stated in Section [X] of our lease agreement, it was explicitly mentioned that any damages or repairs deemed beyond normal wear and tear are to be borne by the tenant. After conducting my own thorough inspection of the property, I have discovered that some repairs listed on the itemized deduction statement were indeed attributable to ordinary wear and tear and should not have been charged against my security deposit. Secondly, Section [X] emphasizes that the costs associated with general maintenance, such as cleaning fees, should not be deducted from the security deposit. However, upon reviewing the itemized list of deductions, I noticed charges pertaining to cleaning services, which are unjustifiable given the property's condition upon my move-out. Furthermore, pursuant to Section [X] of our lease agreement, you were required to provide me with an itemized statement accompanied by detailed receipts and invoices within [X] business days after my lease termination. Unfortunately, no such statement was provided to me, leaving me in the dark about the specific charges for each deducted amount. I kindly request that you fulfill this legal obligation promptly and provide me with the necessary documentation. In light of the aforementioned discrepancies and the facts presented to support my claim, I hereby demand the immediate return of the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you understand the importance of adhering to the legal provisions outlined by the Oklahoma City [Tenant Protection Act/Landlord-Tenant Act], and your prompt response on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If, for any reason, you believe the deductions made were justified, I kindly request a meeting within [X] business days to discuss this matter further. It is my intention to resolve this dispute amicably, avoiding the need for any legal action. Should this issue fail to be resolved expediently, I am prepared to seek legal recourse, which may include filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities and pursuing legal action to enforce my rights under Oklahoma tenant protection laws. I trust that we can resolve this matter in a fair and timely manner. Thank you for your immediate attention to this letter. Please respond to my concerns within [X] business days, as stipulated by the law.
