Ohio Security Deposit Return
Summary
Ohio law mandates that landlords return security deposits or provide an itemized list of deductions within 30 days after a tenant vacates. If a landlord fails to comply, tenants can pursue legal action to recover double the amount wrongfully withheld and reasonable attorney fees. Tenants should send a formal letter to the landlord requesting the return of the deposit or itemization of deductions, and if unresolved, consider legal action.Full Conversation

Dear [Landlord's Name],
Re: Return of Security Deposit
I am writing to request the return of my security deposit for the rental property located at [Rental Property Address]. As you are aware, I vacated the property on [Move-Out Date]. According to Ohio Revised Code § *.*, you were required to return my security deposit or provide an itemized list of damages and their associated costs within 30 days of my move-out date.
As of today, it has been more than 30 days since I vacated the property, and I have not received my security deposit or an itemized list of deductions. Therefore, I demand that you return my full security deposit of [$Amount] immediately.
Failure to comply with this request within 10 days will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action. Under Ohio law, I am entitled to recover double the amount wrongfully withheld and reasonable attorney fees if you do not comply.
I hope to resolve this matter amicably and promptly. Please send the payment to the address listed above.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
