DEMAND LETTER Maya Patel (fictional tenant) [Fictional current mailing address] September 08, 2026 Daniel Reed (fictional landlord) [Fictional landlord mailing address] SENT VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED RE: Demand for return of security deposit - [Fictional Nevada rental address] Dear Daniel Reed (fictional landlord): I vacated the above rental property on August 01, 2026 and paid a security deposit of $1,600.00. Under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.242 (Nevada Security Deposit Law), the applicable return rule is: No later than 30 days after termination the landlord must provide an itemized written accounting of the deposit's disposition and return the remainder, personally or by mail. DISPUTED DEDUCTIONS I dispute the following deductions under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.242 for the reasons below. Please provide the records supporting each disputed charge, including the work, cost, and condition at issue. For replacement charges, explain the item's age and how you calculated the amount charged: • Carpet replacement for ordinary wear - $900.00 Ordinary wear and tear - not deductible. Carpet wear from normal use is not deductible. For a replacement charge, ask for the carpet's age, prior condition, and how the amount was calculated. I do not contest the following deductions, totaling $300.00: Unpaid rent balance ($300.00). This demand does not cancel any accepted debt. Any separate claim or counterclaim must credit amounts already paid or retained toward that debt. DEMAND I demand payment of $900.00, the amount improperly withheld from my deposit. This demand is limited to the amount improperly withheld. The applicable statutory remedy is conditional: under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 118A.242(6), your failure to comply makes you liable for the entire deposit plus a further court-fixed sum of up to the entire deposit - a total exposure of up to twice the deposit. I reserve the right to seek that remedy if its conditions are established in court. Please deliver payment to the address above no later than September 22, 2026 (14 days from the date of this letter). This requested date does not shorten any statutory notice or cure period. If this remains unresolved after the applicable notice, service and waiting requirements are satisfied, I intend to file suit in small claims court. I have retained dated photographs of the property's condition, the lease, our correspondence, your itemized statement, the repair receipts you provided, and this demand letter.
