Subject: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return — [Tenant's Name] [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of grave concern regarding the return of my security deposit for [Address of the Rental Property]. As a responsible and conscientious tenant, I believe there have been wrongful deductions made from my security deposit, and I hereby formally request their return. Upon vacating the property on [Date], I ensured that the property was left in the same condition as when I first moved in, with only normal wear and tear. As required by the Washington State Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RCW 59.18), I expect to receive my security deposit amount of [Amount in Dollars] within 21 days of the termination of my tenancy. However, upon receiving the security deposit refund statement from your office on [Date], I was disappointed to discover several deductions that I consider unjustified. As you may know, Washington state law stipulates that landlords are not allowed to deduct amounts from the security deposit unless the deduction is reasonable and necessary for specific purposes such as unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear and tear, or cleaning costs beyond ordinary efforts. Reviewing the deductions stated in the refund statement, I contend that they are unjust and do not meet the criteria set forth by the state law. Let me detail the wrongful deductions as follows: 1. Deduction 1: [Description of the deduction]. I want to express my disagreement with this deduction since it does not relate to any damage beyond normal wear and tear or a breach of the rental agreement. 2. Deduction 2: [Description of the deduction]. I believe this deduction is not reasonable and necessary since it does not meet the required conditions defined under RCW 59.18. 3. Deduction 3: [Description of the deduction]. This deduction is also unjust, as it fails to adhere to the state law guidelines regarding the proper use of security deposit funds. Given the aforementioned deductions, I kindly request an immediate correction of the refund statement and a prompt return of the total amount unjustly deducted, [Total Deduction Amount], within 14 calendar days from the date of this letter. Failure to comply with this request within the specified timeframe will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to obtain my rightful security deposit refund, as granted by RCW 59.18. Upon reaching this point, I would be entitled to seek statutory damages, attorney's fees, and costs as part of the legal process. I look forward to an amicable resolution and a prompt response to this matter. Please contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] to discuss this issue further or to arrange the return of my security deposit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
