RE: Return of security deposit for 214 Cypress Lane, Unit 3 · lease ended April 30, 2026 · vacated April 28, 2026
Dear Mr. Castellano,

My lease at <b>214 Cypress Lane, Unit 3</b> ended on <b>April 30, 2026</b>, and I returned the keys and a forwarding address on <b>April 28, 2026</b>. Forty-six days have passed and I have received neither my <b>$1,650.00</b> security deposit nor any itemized statement of deductions, which were due within <b>30 days</b> of the move-out date.

I left the unit clean and undamaged, and documented its condition with dated photographs taken on move-out day, copies of which are enclosed. No deductions were communicated to me at any point, and the move-out walkthrough on <b>April 28</b> raised no issues. The full deposit is therefore owed.

I am requesting the <b>full return of $1,650.00 within 14 days</b> of the date of this letter — <b>by June 29, 2026</b> — payable to me at the forwarding address above. If you contend any portion is owed, send a written itemized statement and supporting receipts within that same period.

If the deposit is not returned and no itemized accounting is provided by <b>June 29, 2026</b>, I will pursue recovery in small-claims court, including any statutory penalties and costs available to me. I would prefer to resolve this directly. You can reach me at <b>(937) 555-0148</b> or [email protected].
