Rhode Island Security Deposit Demand Letter

A Rhode Island security deposit demand letter informs a landlord that they have failed to pay back a tenant's security deposit within 20 days from the lease termination date as required by law. If the tenant has caused unreasonable damage to the dwelling beyond normal wear and tear, the landlord may deduct the cost of repairs from the security deposit.
