You paid a refundable deposit when you rented an apartment a year ago. You left the apartment last month in good condition but the landlord won't return your deposit.

Dear [Landlord's Name],

I hope this letter finds you well.

My name is [Your Name], and I am writing to address an issue regarding the refundable deposit I paid when I rented your apartment a year ago. I recently vacated the apartment in good condition, meeting all the terms of our rental agreement.

I kindly request the return of my deposit as I fulfilled all obligations as a tenant and left the apartment in the same state as when I moved in. It is important to me to receive the deposit promptly as it rightfully belongs to me.

If the deposit is not returned within a reasonable timeframe, I may have to consider taking legal action to ensure its return. I believe that a resolution can be reached amicably, and I hope to avoid any unnecessary complications.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a positive response. Thank you for your cooperation.
