Letter Refusing to Return the Deposit at the End of Tenancy

A Letter Refusing to Return the Deposit at the End of Tenancy is a document that a Landlord can use to inform a Tenant that their deposit will not be returned after the end of the tenancy period. This letter usually outlines the reasons for withholding the deposit, such as damage to the property, unpaid rent or bills, or breach of the lease agreement. The letter typically includes details about the property, lease agreement, and deposit amount.

It's important to note that the Tenant may dispute the reasons for withholding the deposit, and legal action may be necessary to resolve the matter. In such cases, this letter may serve as evidence in court.
