Dear [Landlord’s Name],

I am writing to dispute certain deductions made from my security deposit for the premises located at [Your Address]. I received your itemized statement dated [Date of Statement] and have concerns regarding the following deductions:

1. [Describe the first disputed deduction, e.g., $100 for carpet cleaning].
2. [Describe the second disputed deduction, e.g., $200 for wall repairs].
3. [And so on].

According to our lease agreement dated [Date of Lease Agreement], [mention any clause or provision that supports your dispute, e.g., normal wear and tear is not to be deducted from the security deposit].

I kindly request a re-evaluation of the deductions and a fair return of the disputed amount totaling $[Total Disputed Amount]. I am willing to discuss this matter further to reach a fair resolution.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
