Green Bay, Wisconsin: Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon moving out of [rental property address]. It has come to my attention that some deductions are incorrect and unjustified, and I kindly request an explanation and the immediate return of the wrongfully deducted amount. Upon vacating the premises on [move-out date], I spotless and restored the property to its original condition as required by our rental agreement. I was taken aback when I received the itemized list of deductions, as some charges seem to be in violation of tenant rights established under Wisconsin state law. Firstly, the charge for carpet cleaning is entirely unwarranted. As stated in our lease agreement, I had the carpets professionally cleaned a month prior to moving out, as per your request. I have attached the receipt as proof of this service. Therefore, I urge you to reconsider this charge and rectify it promptly. Secondly, the deduction for repair or replacement of the blinds in the living room is unfounded. I thoroughly inspected all the blinds before my departure, and they were in perfect condition. There was no damage or need for repair. I kindly request that you provide documentation or evidence to justify this deduction. Additionally, the charge for repainting the walls is unreasonable. Wisconsin's law stipulates that routine wear and tear cannot be considered tenant damage. After residing in the unit for the lease period, it is only natural that some minimal scuff marks or fading may occur due to normal use. I kindly request that you reconsider this charge and provide evidence to substantiate the necessity for repainting. Furthermore, the deduction for landscaping services is unjustified. It was clearly stipulated in our lease agreement that the responsibility for maintaining the landscaping rested with the landlord. Thus, any expenses related to landscaping services should not be borne by the tenant. I request that you rectify this error and refund the corresponding amount. In light of the aforementioned discrepancies, I demand an immediate refund of the wrongfully deducted amount from my security deposit. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within [number of days, typically 14 days] of receiving this letter, I may be compelled to pursue legal action to recover the wrongfully withheld amount. Please be advised that Wisconsin law provides for treble damages and attorney fees for tenants prevailing in such actions. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably without further escalation. Considering our previous positive landlord-tenant relationship and my adherence to all rental obligations, I hope to receive a prompt response and the refund of the wrongfully deducted amount. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely resolution.
