Document background
The Request Letter For Refund Of Security Deposit is a crucial document used when a tenancy is ending or has ended in England and Wales. It formalizes the tenant's request for the return of their security deposit, which must be protected in a government-approved scheme under UK law. The letter should be sent after the tenant has vacated the property and fulfilled all tenancy obligations. It typically includes property details, deposit amount, protection scheme information, and bank details for the refund. This document is particularly important as it initiates the formal process for deposit return and can be used as evidence if disputes arise.
