Sample Letter: Request for Deposit Return

[Date]

[Landlord/Manager’s Address]

Dear [Landlord/Manager’s Name]:

When I moved out of your rental on [date]_____, the unit was returned to its original

condition minus normal wear and tear. State law says that no tenant should be held

responsible for normal wear and tear. I have not yet received my deposit or an

itemized list of deductions from the deposit, as you are required to give me by law.

The Landlord Tenant Act

(RCW

59.18.280) requires you to refund my deposit within

21 days after the day I moved out. If you fail to do this, you waive any rights to my

deposit. Today’s date is [date], and I have received no word from you. Therefore, I

will expect my full deposit in the amount of [$___] by [date of your choice]. If I do

not receive my deposit by [date], I have the right to ask for twice my deposit amount

in Small Claims Court.

Please mail $ ________ without delay to the address below:

[Your address]

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
