June 1 2026 Rahul Verma Mumbai Maharashtra India Phone: [Sender phone] Email: [Sender email] HomeStay Rentals Mumbai Maharashtra India SUBJECT: FORMAL DEMAND LETTER — SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUND Dear HomeStay Rentals, This letter is being sent as a formal written request for resolution of the security deposit matter described below. I am writing in relation to my tenancy at your property which concluded in March 2026 and am requesting a response or resolution by June 20 2026. BACKGROUND AND CHRONOLOGY I entered into a rental agreement with HomeStay Rentals for a residential property in Mumbai. A security deposit of INR 45,000 was paid at the commencement of the tenancy as per the terms of the rental agreement. I vacated the property in March 2026 at the end of the tenancy period. To date, no refund of the security deposit has been made and no written notification of any deductions has been provided. SUMMARY OF PRIOR RESOLUTION ATTEMPTS Following my vacation of the property in March 2026, I made three phone calls to HomeStay Rentals during April 2026 to request the return of the deposit. I also sent two WhatsApp messages during the same period. No substantive response was received to any of these attempts. This formal letter is now necessary given the absence of any resolution through those prior contacts. ITEMIZED BREAKDOWN OF AMOUNT REQUESTED Security Deposit Paid at Commencement of Tenancy: INR 45,000 Agreed or Notified Deductions: INR 0 Total Amount Requested: INR 45,000 SUPPORTING EVIDENCE AVAILABLE I hold the following documentation supporting this request: - Signed rental agreement confirming the security deposit amount - Bank transfer receipt confirming payment of INR 45,000 - Records of WhatsApp messages sent to HomeStay Rentals in April 2026 Copies of these documents are available upon request or as part of any formal process. SPECIFIC REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION 1. I request the full refund of INR 45,000 by June 20 2026. 2. Payment is requested via bank transfer to my account details which I will provide upon request. RESPONSE DEADLINE I respectfully request a response or resolution by June 20 2026. I would genuinely prefer to resolve this matter directly and without further steps. INTENDED NEXT STEP IF UNRESOLVED If a satisfactory response is not received by June 20 2026, I intend to consider filing an application with the appropriate consumer dispute forum or small claims channel available in Maharashtra India. I sincerely hope this step will not be necessary. OFFER TO DISCUSS I remain open to a constructive conversation about this matter before the deadline. Please feel free to contact me at the details provided below. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS Documents referenced: Rental agreement, deposit payment receipt, WhatsApp message records. Originals retained by the sender. I hope this matter can be resolved promptly and fairly and look forward to your response before June 20 2026.
