Re: Return of Security Deposit

Dear __________________________ (Landlord’s Name):

I was a tenant at _______________________________________ (address) from

_____________ (move-in date) until ________________ (move-out date). On or about

_______________ (date) I paid a refundable security deposit in the amount of

$______________.

I am in receipt of your letter dated ______________ regarding your refusal to return my

security deposit. I believe you have wrongfully withheld all or some of my security deposit.

Please return my security deposit in the amount of $__________________ within (7) days of

receipt of this letter. Please be advised that if the full amount is not refunded within (7) days, it

is my intention to file suit under Colorado Revised Statute § 38-12-103, seeking treble damages,

attorney’s fees and court costs.

Sincerely,

Tenant’s Signature

send it via email. Of course, it is very important that you keep a copy of your letter and proof
