Dear Mr. Coleman,
I am writing to request the return of the £800 deposit I paid to you I rented No. 21, Britannia Court for the month of April. I telephoned your office I was told you are not intending to repay this money I am unable to understand the reason for this.
I signed the rental agreement it was my understanding the deposit would be returned the apartment was vacated dean and undamaged. This was the condition of the flat I returned the keys. I cleaned the whole apartment and there were no breakages and no damage to fittings or furniture.
I believe I have kept to the terms of the agreement and I respectfully request my deposit be repaid in full. I shall have no alternative to seek legal advice we are unable to resolve this matter in a satisfactory manner.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Chapman
