SECURITY DEPOSIT DEMAND LETTER – DELAWARE
Date: [DATE]
To: [LANDLORD NAME]
Re: Security Deposit Return – [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
DEMAND FOR REFUND
Dear [Landlord Name]:
I vacated the property on [DATE].
Pursuant to 25 Del. C. § 5514, you were required to return my security deposit or a detailed list of damages within 20 days.
You have failed to do so. Under Delaware law, failure to provide the itemized list within 20 days constitutes an acknowledgment that no damages occurred, and you must return the full deposit.
I demand the return of $[AMOUNT]. If legally pursued, I am entitled to double the amount wrongfully withheld (§ 5514(g)).
Please remit payment immediately.
Sincerely,
[TENANT NAME]
