Title: Grand Prairie Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss a matter pertaining to my security deposit for the property located at [property address], in Grand Prairie, Texas. I am concerned that there have been wrongful deductions made from my security deposit upon my move-out inspection. As per the relevant state laws and regulations, I kindly request that you review the claims made and promptly return the remaining balance owed to me. Please find below a detailed description of the wrongful deductions made and a demand for the return of my security deposit in accordance with the law. 1. Noncompliance with Texas Security Deposit Law: As you may be aware, Texas law (Texas Property Code, Title 8, Section 92) stipulates certain obligations and rights regarding security deposits. The law requires landlords to: a) Provide a written description of any deductions made within 30 days of the tenant's lease termination. b) Return the security deposit within 30 days of the tenant moving out, along with an itemized list of deductions that accurately describes each withheld amount. c) Return the entire security deposit or provide an itemized explanation for any non-refundable deductions. 2. Wrongful Deductions: Upon reviewing the itemized list of deductions provided, I have noticed several discrepancies that warrant clarification and dispute. The following points outline my concerns regarding the wrongful deductions: a) Unjustified Cleaning Fees: A cleaning fee was deducted, despite the property being left in a well-maintained and clean condition upon my move-out. I demand immediate return of this amount. b) Repairs and Maintenance: The list includes charges related to minor repairs and maintenance, such as normal wear and tear on walls and flooring. These are not tenant responsibilities, as recognized by Texas law. Hence, these charges must be returned promptly. c) Failure to Provide Supporting Documentation: The itemized list of deductions lacks supporting documentation, such as invoices or receipts for the claimed repairs. I request that you provide detailed evidence justifying each deduction made. 3. Demand for Return: In accordance with Texas law, I demand the following actions in order to rectify the wrongful deductions and ensure the prompt return of my security deposit: a) Immediate Refund: Return the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit within 10 business days of receiving this letter. b) Detailed Explanation: Provide a comprehensive and itemized explanation for each deduction made if you believe any charges to be warranted. c) Supporting Documentation: Furnish copies of receipts, invoices, or any other relevant documentation that supports the claimed deductions. d) Legal Consequences: Failure to comply with the Texas Property Code regarding the return of security deposits or the withholding of unjustified deductions may result in further legal action, such as pursuing damages in small claims court. Conclusion: I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and promptly, without resorting to legal action. I kindly request your immediate attention to this letter and expect prompt action in returning the wrongfully deducted amount. I am open to discussing the matter further to reach a fair and equitable resolution. Please inform me, in writing, of your decision and any supporting evidence or documentation within ten (10) business days from the receipt of this letter. I trust we can resolve this matter civilly and avoid any unnecessary escalation.
