Write a reply to a landlord who claims money for damage or rent after I left. Facts I will give: landlord [LANDLORD_NAME], date and amount claimed [CLAIM_DETAILS], items listed [ITEMS_LISTED], my move-in and move-out records [MY_RECORDS], deposit held [DEPOSIT_HELD], what I accept [WHAT_I_ACCEPT]. The reply should address each item, attach photos and inventory, ask for invoices and dates of repair, and propose an offset against the deposit for any agreed amount. Answer item by item in a table: the item claimed, the amount, my move-in inventory entry, my move-out photo and date, whether I accept, and what I propose. Ask for invoices, repair dates and the deposit account statement, and point out normal wear that should not be charged. Offer to settle undisputed items from the deposit now and to use the deposit protection scheme's dispute service for the rest. Facts and papers worth gathering: Move-in inventory, move-out photos, key return receipt, rent payment history, and the lease terms on charges. What I can realistically request: A reduced claim, an itemised statement, return of the deposit balance, or a mediation step. The usual pushback: Landlords may attach estimates only; reply by asking for invoices and photos. For the reply to a landlord's claim for damage or arrears after I moved out, take me through a short decision tree on documentation, recipient, and realistic remedy, record my answers, and then draft the letter on that branch. Give me the letter plus a cover note of about 50 words, followed by an if-ignored ladder (reply, then use the deposit scheme, then small claims preparation), then a list of exhibits (inventory, photos, receipt, payments, lease). Send it as a PDF attachment, then keep a screenshot of the sent folder showing date and time and follow up if no confirmation arrives. Draft it as me, an ordinary person, never as a lawyer. Quote no statute or time limit from memory; use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] and nothing else, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. Hold a level, reasonable tone, with no insults or empty threats, put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request, and be honest about limits. None of this is legal advice.
