Tenant letter prompts

Dealing with a landlord over repairs or a deposit is stressful, and it is easy to write too much or too little. Paste one of these prompts into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, fill in the brackets with your own real details, and get a calm, clear letter you can send today.

These are writing templates, not legal advice, and glunty is not a lawyer. Tenant rights, notice periods, and deposit rules vary a lot by country, state, and city. Fill in your own facts, verify your local rules, keep copies, and send anything important by a tracked method like certified mail.

Repairs and maintenance

Request a repair

Write a short, polite letter asking my landlord to repair a problem in my rental. The issue is [describe the problem, for example a leaking kitchen tap]. It started on [date] and it affects [how it affects daily living]. Ask for the repair to be done within [a reasonable timeframe, for example 14 days], offer reasonable access for a visit, and ask them to confirm in writing. Keep it firm but friendly. My name is [name] and the address is [address].

Why it works: A specific problem plus a clear deadline is easier to act on than a vague complaint.

Follow up on an ignored repair

Write a brief follow-up letter about a repair I already reported. I first asked about [the problem] on [date of first request] and it is still not fixed. Politely restate the issue, mention that I have not had a reply or a repair yet, and ask for an update and a date by which it will be done. Keep the tone calm and factual, not angry. My name is [name] and the address is [address].

Why it works: A dated follow-up shows a paper trail and keeps the pressure polite.

Document the problem

Help me write a short note for my own records that documents a maintenance problem in my rental. Turn these details into a clear, dated log: the problem is [describe it], I first noticed it on [date], I reported it on [date and how, for example email or phone], and I took photos on [date]. List the facts in plain order and leave a line where I can add what happens next. Do not exaggerate anything.

Why it works: Dated notes and photo references are your record if the issue is ever disputed.

Deposit and move-out

Ask for your deposit back

Write a polite letter requesting the return of my security deposit. I moved out of [address] on [move-out date] and left the place [clean and undamaged, or describe its condition]. My deposit was [amount]. Ask for the full deposit to be returned to [forwarding address or bank details] within [the timeframe your local rules allow, if you know it], and ask that if any deductions are planned, they send me an itemized list with receipts. Keep it courteous. My name is [name].

Why it works: Giving your move-out date and forwarding address removes the usual excuses for delay.

Dispute a deduction

Write a calm, factual letter disputing a deduction from my deposit. The landlord withheld [amount] for [reason they gave]. I disagree because [your reason, for example the item was already worn when I moved in, or it is normal wear and tear]. Reference any proof I have, such as [move-in photos dated (date) or the inventory report]. Ask them to review the deduction and refund it, and to reply in writing by [date]. Stay polite and stick to the facts.

Why it works: Naming the exact charge and your evidence keeps the dispute concrete and hard to brush off.

Notices and clarity

Draft a notice to vacate

Help me draft a notice to my landlord that I am ending my tenancy. Fill in this frame clearly: I, [name], am giving notice to end my tenancy at [address]. My intended move-out date is [date]. Note that I am giving [number] days notice as required by [my lease or local rule, which I will verify myself]. Ask for confirmation in writing and for details on the move-out inspection and deposit return. Keep it brief and businesslike.

Why it works: A clean, dated notice with your move-out date is the part landlords most need in writing.

Cool down an angry message

Rewrite this message to my landlord so it stays calm, factual, and polite while still making my point firmly. Remove any insults, threats, or heated language, keep every real fact, and end with a clear request or question. Here is my draft: [paste your angry version].

Why it works: A calm letter is taken more seriously and is safer to have on record than an angry one.

Explain a lease clause

Explain this clause from my lease in plain English so I understand what it actually means for me as a tenant. Tell me what it requires me to do, what it lets the landlord do, and any deadline or notice period it mentions. Flag anything that sounds unusual so I can look it up. Do not tell me it is legal advice, just help me read it. Here is the clause: [paste the clause].

Why it works: Plain-English wording helps you see your obligations before you sign or act.
