Dear __________________________,
I am writing this letter with regard to the security deposit in the amount of $ __________ I had made for lease of the following Premises: _________________________________ ______________________________________________________. As you know, on the _____ day of _______________________, 20______ I vacated the Premises. On this day we conducted a join inspection of the Premises, and it was found that the Premises were in a clean, good repair condition.
It has been ________________ days since I moved out, but yet I have not received the refund of my security deposit or an itemized statement showing any deductions from the security deposit.
Please be advised that if I do not receive a full refund of that deposit within __________ days, I will consider the retention of the deposit to be in “bad faith” under the Civil Code. This gives me the right to sue you.
I look forward to the prompt return of my deposit, which should be sent to the following address: ________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
