SECURITY DEPOSIT DEMAND LETTER – MICHIGAN

Date: [DATE]

To: [LANDLORD NAME]

Re: Security Deposit Return – [PROPERTY ADDRESS]

DEMAND FOR REFUND

Dear [Landlord Name]:

I vacated the unit on [DATE] and provided my forwarding address in writing within 4 days.

Under the Landlord and Tenant Relationships Act (MCL 554.609), a landlord must mail an itemized list of damages and the balance of the deposit within 30 days.

You have failed to provide this itemized list.

STATUTORY BAR: Pursuant to MCL 554.610, failure to mail the itemized list of damages within 30 days constitutes an agreement that no damages are due and that you must remit the full deposit immediately.

I demand the return of $[AMOUNT]. If I am forced to file suit, I will seek double the amount of the security deposit retained, pursuant to MCL 554.613(2).

Sincerely,

[TENANT NAME]
