An Oregon security deposit demand letter is sent by tenants to landlords who have failed to pay back a security deposit after a tenancy has ended. State law requires that within thirty-one (31) days after the tenancy is terminated, the landlord must give the tenant a written record of any damages or debts which will be deducted from the security deposit amount as well as the remaining balance of said deposit. If the landlord fails to give a proper accounting of damages or return the security deposit within this time frame, the tenant is entitled, by law, to recover twice the amount due.
