Dear _______________________________:
We ______________(name), ____________________(name) were tenants at
_____________________________(address) from __________(date) to _________(date).
$______________ was paid by us as a damage deposit.
More than thirty (or sixty, if allowed by the lease) days have passed since we terminated

explanation for any amounts withheld. Under Colorado Revised Statute § 38-12-103 (2), your
failure to provide a written statement within the required time works a forfeiture of all your rights
to withhold any portion of the security deposit.
Kindly send the amount of $_____________ to us at ________(current mailing address)
within seven (7) days of your receipt of this letter. If the amount is not refunded, we intend to file
suit under Colorado Revised Statute § 38-12-103 (3), asking treble damages, court costs, and
attorneys fees.
Sincerely,
*NOTE: Original sent certified mail, one copy sent regular mail, and one copy retained by tenant.
