Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return to Lewisville, Texas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding the security deposit I provided upon signing the lease for [Rental Property Address]. It has come to my attention that there have been certain deductions from my security deposit that I believe are unjustified and do not comply with the legal requirements outlined in the Texas Property Code. I kindly request your prompt attention to the matter and a full refund of the wrongfully deducted amount. Upon reviewing the itemized list of deductions provided to me, I have noticed the following concerns: 1. Inadequate Documentation: I have not received comprehensive evidence supporting the deductions made, such as receipts, invoices, or detailed written explanations as required by the Texas Property Code. Therefore, it is difficult for me to ascertain the validity of these deductions. 2. Normal Wear and Tear: It is important to note that normal wear and tear resulting from ordinary use of the rented premises is not considered damage, and the cost of repairing such wear and tear should not be deducted from the security deposit. 3. Pre-existing Conditions: Some deductions seem to pertain to issues that were present in the property before I moved in. As documented during my move-in inspection, these conditions were already accounted for, and therefore, should not be deducted from my deposit. 4. Failure to Comply with Legal Timelines: The Texas Property Code specifies that a landlord must provide the tenant with a written description of any charges or deductions within 30 days after the tenant vacates the premises. As per my records, this timeline has been exceeded, further raising concerns over the validity of the deductions. Based on the aforementioned concerns and the provisions stated in the Texas Property Code, I hereby demand the return of the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit within [specify a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter. Please consider this letter as a final notice before I am forced to escalate the matter to the appropriate legal authorities. I strongly believe in resolving disputes amicably, and I trust that reaching a fair and just resolution is in both parties' best interest. Should you wish to discuss this matter further or clarify any aspects, please contact me at [Your Contact Number] or [Your Email Address]. I kindly request written confirmation of your receipt and acknowledgement of this letter. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
