Description

This is a sample Security Deposit Demand Letter. Security deposit demand letter is used to request the return of a security deposit from a landlord to a tenant. A demand letter is a letter asserting your rights under landlord-tenant law to demand the return of your deposit. After the tenant's lease expires and they vacate the dwelling, they must ask the landlord to refund their deposit. The landlord will then have a specific number of days (i.e. - forty-five (45) days) to return the funds. The form may be customized to suit your needs. A Security Deposit Demand Letter is a written communication from a landlord to a tenant requesting the return of a security deposit. The letter typically explains the reason for the demand and may include the amount due and the date by which it should be paid. There are two main types of Security Deposit Demand Letters: one sent prior to the termination of a lease, and one sent after a lease has ended. The letter sent prior to the termination of a lease is usually sent when the tenant has failed to comply with the terms of the lease, such as failing to pay rent or damaging the property. This letter will usually outline the tenant’s obligations and explain the consequences of not complying. The letter sent after the lease has ended is typically sent after the tenant has moved out of the rental property but has failed to return the security deposit. This letter will typically outline the tenant’s obligations under the Security Deposit law, explain the reasons why the deposit has not been returned, and give the tenant a deadline for returning the deposit. Both types of Security Deposit Demand Letter should include the landlord’s contact information and a copy of the lease agreement.
