Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return — Odessa, Texas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to address certain concerns regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon the termination of my lease agreement at [Rental Property Address] in Odessa, Texas. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to call your property my home during the duration of my tenancy. I have always strived to be an exemplary tenant, adhering to all rules and regulations outlined in the lease agreement, and maintaining the premises in an excellent condition throughout my stay. Unfortunately, as I received the refund of my security deposit, it became apparent that various deductions were made which I believe to be wrongful and unjustified. Upon thorough examination, I have identified the following deductions: 1. Repair Costs: It has come to my attention that certain repair costs were deducted from my security deposit. However, I want to bring to your attention that these repairs were necessary due to standard wear and tear, which is beyond the tenant's responsibility. As per the Texas Property Code (Section 92.101), normal wear and tear cannot be deducted from the security deposit. 2. Cleaning Expenses: I was surprised to discover that cleaning expenses were deducted from my deposit, despite the fact that the premises were left in a clean and well-maintained condition. I fulfilled my obligations by conducting a thorough cleaning of the property before vacating it, as per the requirements of our lease agreement. 3. Itemized Statement: According to the Texas Property Code (Section 92.1031), as a tenant, I have the right to receive a detailed, itemized statement within 30 days after my lease termination. However, I have not yet received any such statement outlining the specific reasons and costs associated with the deductions made from my deposit. Considering the circumstances mentioned above, I kindly request an immediate refund of the wrongfully deducted portion from my security deposit. I understand that legitimate charges may apply, but I strongly urge you to review the deductions made and reconsider their validity. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within [reasonable timeframe], I will have no choice but to escalate this matter further, seeking legal remedies and filing a complaint with the relevant authorities. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your swift response. Please contact me at [Tenant's Contact Information] or via email at [Tenant's Email Address]. Thank you for your cooperation.
