SECURITY DEPOSIT DEMAND LETTER – MAINE
Date: [DATE]
To: [LANDLORD NAME]
Re: Security Deposit Return – [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
DEMAND FOR REFUND
Dear [Landlord Name]:
I vacated the unit on [DATE].
Under 14 M.R.S. § 6033, a landlord must return the security deposit or provide a written statement of reasons for retention within 30 days [or 21 days if tenancy at will] of termination.
That deadline has passed.
LEGAL NOTICE: Under 14 M.R.S. § 6034, if a landlord wrongfully withholds a deposit, the landlord is liable for double the amount of the security deposit, plus court costs and legal fees.
I demand the immediate return of $[AMOUNT].
Sincerely,
[TENANT NAME]
