You request a refund of the security deposit that was not returned to you by your previous owner

 

You have been moving for several months and you still have not received the refund of the security deposit (or the deposit, as it is frequently called) that you paid at the start of the rental. Send your landlord a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt asking him to reimburse you for this deposit without delay.

 

Law n ° 89-462 of July 6, 1989, article 22, provides that the security deposit "is returned within a maximum period of two months from the return of the keys by the tenant, after deduction, where applicable, of sums remaining due to the lessor and sums for which the latter could be liable, in place of the lessee, provided that they are duly justified […]. In the absence of restitution within the prescribed period, the balance of the security deposit remaining due to the tenant, after closing the accounts, produces interest at the legal rate for the benefit of the tenant ”.

 

Dear,

 

On the last (date), I left the accommodation I was renting to you and I returned the keys to you.

 

However, I still have not received the reimbursement of the security deposit of (…) euros that I paid you when signing the contract.

 

I do not understand this delay, because the two months that the law gives you to make this repayment have passed, and I have no debt to you: my rents have been paid in full and I have returned your accommodation in good condition. use, as evidenced by the inventory established when I left.

 

I remind you that, beyond this legal period of two months, the balance due after closing the accounts produces interest for the benefit of the tenant.

 

I therefore ask you to send me as soon as possible the entire security deposit, ie (…) euros, increased by (…) euros, corresponding to (…) months of interest at the legal rate.

 

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my best regards.
