Subject: Request for Return of Security Deposit - [Your Property Address]
Dear [Landlord’s Name or Property Manager],
My name is Sam, and I am writing to formally request the return of my security deposit of $1,400. I moved out of [Property Address] on [Move-Out Date], and as of today (7 weeks later), I have not yet received the deposit.
I attempted to address this matter via text message on [mention dates if possible] but have not received a response. As required by [local laws (if applicable, e.g., "your state’s tenant laws")/the lease agreement], I am entitled to a refund of my deposit within [X days, if specified] of vacating the property. While I understand that processing may take time, the delay has caused me financial inconvenience, and I would appreciate a prompt resolution.
Please return the full deposit amount via check or direct deposit at your earliest convenience. If there are any deductions, I request an itemized statement with receipts within 5 business days of this email. After reviewing any such deductions, I will follow up to confirm receipt of the remaining balance.
If I do not hear back or receive the deposit within 7 business days of this email, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to [local tenant rights agency/small claims court/another relevant entity]. I hope we can resolve this amicably and without further action.
I can be reached at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] if you need any additional information. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Sam

Notes:
- Customize the placeholders ([...]) with specific details (name, address, move-out date, etc.).
- If you know the landlord’s legal obligations (e.g., state security deposit laws), reference them here.
- Keep a copy of this email and any receipts for your records.
- Consider sending via certified mail/email with a delivery/read receipt for proof of communication.
The catch: The prompt gives your name (Sam) and leaves out the address and the country.
