You paid a refundable deposit when you rented an apartment. You left the apartment in good condition but the Landlord won't return your deposit. Write a letter to the landlord. In your letter • explain why you are writing • ask for the return of your deposit inform the landlord of possible legal action
Dear Mr Coleman,
I am writing to request the return of the £800 deposit that I paid to you in advance. before I rented No. 21, Britannia Court for the month of April. When I telephoned your office I was told that you are not intending to repay
this
money and I am unable to understand the reason for this
.
When I signed the rental agreement it was my understanding that the deposit would be returned if the apartment was vacated dean and undamaged. This
was the condition of the flat when I returned the keys. I cleaned the whole apartment and there were no breakages and no damage to fittings or furniture.
I believe that I have kept to the terms of the agreement and therefore
I respectfully request that my deposit be repaid in full. I shall have no alternative left other than to seek legal advice if we are unable to resolve this
matter in a satisfactory manner.
Yours sincerely,
Steve ChapmanSubmitted by msrubinagill on
