Mr. Ramesh Verma
Landlord, A-5 Juhu Scheme, Mumbai 400049
RE: FORMAL LEGAL DEMAND — RETURN OF SECURITY DEPOSIT ₹45,000
Dear Mr. Ramesh Verma,
I write to formally demand the immediate return of my security deposit of ₹45,000, which you have unlawfully withheld since 14 November 2025, in violation of the Transfer of Property Act 1882 (Section 105) and the Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999.
LEGAL BASIS:
Under Section 105 of the Transfer of Property Act 1882, a landlord is legally obligated to return the security deposit within 30 days of the tenant vacating the premises, subject to legitimate deductions supported by receipts. You have not returned the deposit, nor provided any accounting of deductions, constituting a breach of your legal obligations.
You are hereby required to return the full amount of ₹45,000 within 14 days of this notice. Failure to comply will compel me to file a formal complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under the Consumer Protection Act 2019...

FAQ
What is a demand letter?
A demand letter is a formal written notice that tells the other party: here is what you did wrong, here is what the law says about it, here is what I demand you do, and here is what I will do if you don't comply by this date. It cites specific laws and is the standard first step before filing any legal claim. A well-written demand letter resolves most common disputes without going to court.
Do I need a lawyer to write a demand letter?
No. Anyone can write and send a demand letter. The key is citing the correct laws for your situation and jurisdiction — which is exactly what LexAI does automatically. LexAI's demand letters are based on real statutes and are appropriate for common disputes including security deposits, unpaid wages, consumer refunds, and wrongful termination.
Does sending a demand letter really work?
In most cases, yes — especially for common disputes. When the other party receives a formal letter citing the specific law they've violated and the penalties they face, they typically respond. For landlord deposit disputes in India, for instance, a properly drafted demand letter referencing the Transfer of Property Act and Consumer Protection Act resolves the majority of cases within the 14-day deadline.
