Security Deposit Return — property_address
deposit-itemization
Hi tenant_first_name,
Following your move-out from Unit unit_number at property_address, we've completed our inspection and accounting of your security deposit. Here is a summary of the deposit disposition.
DEPOSIT SUMMARY
• Original Security Deposit: $original_deposit
• Total Deductions: $deductions_total
• Refund Amount: $refund_amount
An itemized breakdown of all deductions is attached. Please review it carefully — each line item is identified with a description and associated cost. Deductions have been limited to damages beyond normal wear and tear, as required by applicable landlord-tenant law.
RECEIVING YOUR REFUND
• Payment Method: payment_method
• Expected by: expected_delivery_date
If you have not received your refund by expected_delivery_date, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and reissue if necessary.
QUESTIONS ABOUT DEDUCTIONS
If you disagree with any of the deductions, you have the right to dispute them in accordance with state landlord-tenant law. Please reach out to us first — we're willing to review documentation or discuss concerns before any formal dispute process becomes necessary.
Thank you for your tenancy at property_address. We wish you the best. You can reach us at me::phone.
Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use this workflow after move-out inspection and deposit accounting are complete, when the former tenant needs the refund amount and itemized statement.
What this replaces
This replaces manually writing deposit return notices, checking refund math, and remembering to attach the itemized deduction statement.
Why teams standardize this email
Security deposit notices are detail-sensitive and often regulated. A workflow helps property teams communicate refund amounts and deductions clearly while leaving room for review before sending.

Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.

- Keeps the draft editable for final review
