Title: North Charleston South Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Keywords: North Charleston South Carolina, Letter, Tenant, Landlord, Notice, Wrongful Deductions, Security Deposit, Demand for Return 1. Types of North Charleston South Carolina Letters from Tenant to Landlord Containing Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return: a) North Charleston SC Tenant-Landlord Letter: Notice of Wrongful Deductions and Demand for Return b) North Charleston South Carolina Security Deposit Dispute Letter: Tenant's Demand for Refund c) Letter to Landlord: Contesting Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit in North Charleston SC --- Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon the termination of my lease at [Address]. As a tenant in North Charleston, South Carolina, I believe it is important to address this matter promptly and ensure its resolution in accordance with the state's laws and regulations. Upon moving out of the premises, I made sure to return the rental unit in a clean and well-maintained condition, adhering to the terms of our lease agreement. However, upon receiving the itemized deductions from my security deposit, I noticed several discrepancies that warrant clarification. Firstly, according to the South Carolina Landlord-Tenant Act, landlords are required to provide a written itemization of the deductions made from the security deposit within thirty days after a tenant's lease termination. It has come to my attention that the itemized deductions I received did not adhere to this requirement. Therefore, I kindly request a detailed breakdown of all the deductions made and associated expenses within five business days of receiving this letter. Secondly, after reviewing the list provided, I found several entries that I believe are not valid deductions or were charged excessively. For instance, the deduction labeled [specific deduction] appears to be erroneous and does not correspond to any damages caused during my tenancy. I have documented the condition of the property with date-stamped photographs upon moving in and out, which attest to its original state. Moreover, it is essential to mention that any normal wear and tear associated with the reasonable use of the property is not a justifiable reason for the deductions, as stated in the South Carolina Landlord-Tenant Act. I urge you to review the deductions carefully and provide appropriate evidence showcasing the damages justifying each deduction mentioned. In light of the above, I kindly demand an immediate return of the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit. Please arrange for the reimbursement of the deducted amount to reach me within ten business days from the date of this letter. Should you fail to address this matter promptly and resolve the issue fairly, I may have no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under the South Carolina Landlord-Tenant Act, which includes filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities or seeking legal assistance to recover my rightfully owed security deposit. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably, avoiding any unnecessary disputes or further legal actions. As always, I value the positive landlord-tenant relationship we have maintained throughout our lease term. Please contact me at [your contact information], so we can discuss this matter and find a satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State ZIP] [Date]
