Subject: Security Deposit Return – [Rental Property Address]

Hello [Landlord Name],

I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to follow up on my security deposit of $1,400 for [rental address/unit]. It has now been seven weeks since I moved out on [move-out date], and I have not yet received the deposit or an itemized statement of any deductions.

I’ve also tried reaching you by text, but I haven’t been able to get a response. Could you please confirm receipt of this email and let me know when I can expect the deposit? My forwarding address is:

If any deductions are being made, please send me an itemized list along with any supporting receipts or documentation.

I’d appreciate a response by [date, e.g., Friday, May 31]. If it’s easier, I’m happy to discuss this by phone at [your phone number].

Thank you for your time and help.

Best regards,  
Sam
