Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter concerning my security deposit for the property located at [Your Address], in Fairfax, Virginia. It has come to my attention that there have been wrongful deductions made from my security deposit, and I hereby request its immediate return.

I have yet to receive such an itemized statement despite moving out of the property on [Move-out Date]. This failure to provide a detailed list of deductions is a violation of my rights as a tenant under the state's laws. Additionally, I must highlight that during my tenancy, I consistently adhered to the terms of the lease agreement, fulfilling all obligations regarding rent payment and maintenance of the property.

A complete and itemized list of all deductions made from my security deposit, clearly explaining the nature of each deduction and the corresponding costs. 2. Copies of receipts, invoices, estimates, or any supporting documents justifying these deductions. 3. An accurate calculation demonstrating the return of the remaining amount, if applicable, after the deductions have been accounted for. It is important to note that failure to comply with the above demands may result in legal action being taken against you for the return of the wrongfully withheld security deposit, as well as any additional damages allowable under the law. I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any unnecessary legal proceedings. I kindly request that you provide the requested information and return my security deposit, minus any legitimate deductions, within 10 business days of receiving this letter. Please send your response to [Your Contact Information]. I highly recommend both parties seek legal advice to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I expect your prompt response.
