SECURITY DEPOSIT DEMAND LETTER – NORTH CAROLINA
Date: [DATE]
To: [LANDLORD NAME]
Re: Security Deposit Return – [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
DEMAND FOR REFUND
Dear [Landlord Name]:
I vacated the premises on [DATE].
Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 42-52, the landlord must return the security deposit or a detailed itemization of deductions within 30 days. (If damages cannot be determined in 30 days, an interim notice is required, with a final accounting in 60 days).
It has been more than 30 days and I have received no accounting.
PENALTY: Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 42-55, willful failure to comply with the deposit Act may result in the forfeiture of the deposit AND liability for the tenant's attorney's fees.
I demand the immediate refund of $[AMOUNT].
Sincerely,
[TENANT NAME]
