SECURITY DEPOSIT DEMAND LETTER – MISSISSIPPI
Date: [DATE]
To: [LANDLORD NAME]
Re: Security Deposit Return – [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
DEMAND FOR REFUND
Dear [Landlord Name]:
I vacated the property on [DATE].
Under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-21(3), the landlord must return the security deposit or a written itemization of deductions within 45 days of the termination of tenancy.
You have failed to do so.
PENALTY: Pursuant to § 89-8-21(4), bad faith retention of a deposit in violation of this section subjects the landlord to liability for $200.00 in addition to actual damages.
I demand the immediate return of $[AMOUNT].
Sincerely,
[TENANT NAME]
