RE: Security Deposit Dispute for

Dear ,

I am writing regarding my security deposit of for the property located at , , NM . I vacated the property on Invalid Date after providing proper notice, and to date I have not received any portion of my deposit back.

I have not received an itemized list of deductions as required by law. According to New Mexico law, landlords must provide tenants with an itemized list of deductions made from the security deposit.

According to New Mexico law (NMSA § 47-8-18), a landlord must provide an itemized written statement of any deductions from the deposit and return the remaining amount within 30 days of the termination of the tenancy. Additionally, landlords may not charge tenants for normal wear and tear.

I am requesting the return of my full security deposit within 14 days of receipt of this letter.

I hope we can resolve this matter amicably without the need for legal action. Please send the disputed amount to my current address listed below.

Sincerely,

Phone:
