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: Carrollton Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Return Prepaid and Unearned Rent Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an issue regarding the return of prepaid rent and the security deposit upon terminating my lease agreement [mention the property address]. Despite fulfilling all the obligations stated in the lease agreement, I have yet to receive the full refund of my prepaid rent and recoverable security deposit. This failure on your part to fulfill your responsibilities as a landlord has prompted me to voice my discontent and seek a resolution to this matter. As you may recall, upon signing the lease agreement on [date], I made an initial payment of prepaid rent and a security deposit. The terms and conditions of the lease agreement clearly state that upon ending the tenancy, I am entitled to have all prepaid and unearned rent refunded to me, along with the recoverable security deposit. To date, the lease agreement's termination date has passed, I have returned possession of the property in good condition, and all rent payments have been made in a timely manner. Unfortunately, despite these diligent efforts on my part, I have not received the refund of the prepaid rent as stated in the lease agreement. I have reviewed the state and local laws governing tenant-landlord relationships in Carrollton, Texas, and I would like to bring to your attention the specific statutes that outline the rights and obligations of both parties. According to Texas Property Code Section 92.102, a landlord should return the prepaid rent if the tenant terminates the lease agreement before the occupancy start date. Additionally, Carrollton City Code Section [relevant section] further supports my entitlement to the return of prepaid rent and the recoverable security deposit. While I understand that there may be legitimate deductions from the security deposit for damages beyond normal wear and tear, it is important to note that the unreturned prepaid rent must be returned in full as I have fulfilled all the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately remit the full amount of my prepaid rent along with the return of my recoverable security deposit, as stipulated in the lease and as required by both state and local laws. I expect the refund to be made within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] from the receipt of this letter.
