Subject: Notice of Failure to Return Security Deposit and Demand for Return — Regarding Rental Property in Salt Lake City, Utah Date: Landlord's Name: Landlord's Address: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter concerning the return of my security deposit for the rental property located at [Rental Property Address] in Salt Lake City, Utah. As you are aware, I entered into a lease agreement with you, which commenced on [Lease Start Date] and ended on [Lease End Date]. The lease agreement clearly stipulates that upon proper termination of the lease and vacating the property in good condition, I am entitled to the return of my full security deposit in accordance with Utah Landlord-Tenant Laws. I am disappointed to inform you that it has been [number of days] since my tenancy ended, and I have not received any communication or received my security deposit back. This is in direct violation of the provisions outlined in our lease agreement and the State of Utah's laws governing landlord-tenant relationships. I have made numerous attempts to contact you through calls and emails, but without success. It is both reasonable and lawful to expect the return of my security deposit within a reasonable timeframe, as stipulated by Utah Code § 57-17-1 et seq. Failure to adhere to these laws may result in legal action being taken against you. While I believe in resolving disputes amicably, I feel compelled to exercise my rights under Utah law. Thus, unless I receive my full security deposit within [number of days] business days from the date of receipt of this letter, I may be left with no choice but to take legal action to recover my deposit, plus any additional associated costs, such as attorney fees and court fees, as allowed by law. In the event that we are unable to resolve this matter privately, I kindly request that you provide me with a written explanation detailing any deductions you believe to be warranted from my security deposit. Utah's law requires landlords to provide itemized statements of deductions within 30 days from the date of termination of tenancy, along with any remainder balance. I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves and in compliance with Utah law. Please understand that I am eager to reach a fair resolution without resorting to legal action, as it can be time-consuming and costly for both parties involved. I request that you respond promptly and directly to avoid any misunderstandings or further delay. Please address all correspondence to the mailing address listed below, or alternatively, you may reach me at the contact information provided. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a timely resolution.
