Re: Request for Return of Deposit; Request for Return of Overcharge
To Whom It May Concern,
I moved out of my rental located at 2602 Westridge Ave W, #F105, Tacoma, Washington 98466 on November 9, 2024. When I moved in, I paid a deposit in the form of a money order and before moving out a dedication of a full month’s rent was withdrawn from my checking account.
It has been more than 30 days since I moved out. I have not received my total deposit back. Per RCW 59.18.280 and RCW 59.18.310, “… within 30 days after the landlord learns of the abandonment, the landlord shall give a full and specific statement of the basis for retaining any of the deposit, and any documentation required by (b) of this subsection, together with the payment of any refund due the tenant under the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. The landlord complies with this subsection if these are delivered to the tenant personally or deposited in the United States mail properly addressed to the tenant's last known address with first-class postage prepaid within the 30 days.” Both of these terms were not and have not been met. Put simply, I have not received any statement from Boulders at Puget Sound or their parent company JRK Property Holdings/Two Coasts Living. On multiple occasions, both in writing and verbally, I have asked for the documentation and have not received the information.
It is my expectation that my full deposit and rent dedication be refunded. This expectation is a result of the property’s failure to address a “graywater” issue and a flood from the apartment above causing property damage that was not of my negligence. The property management was notified of both the sewage (greywater) leakage and flood and yet the management did not reach out once to address the best way to address my concerns. The maintenance person notified me that Management would not address my issues and if I had a problem I would need to go through my insurance company (the insurance company bears NO RESPONSIBLE for the property management’s negligence.) When I notified management of my intent to vacate the property, 60 days in advance, I was reassured that I would not be charged anything. In fact, when I mentioned that I was considering filing a complaint/engaging legal representation on this issue, the property manager asked that I not do this because my deposit would be refunded in full.

The Washington State Residential Landlord Tenant Act says that if you do not send the statement within 30 days, I am entitled to a complete refund of my deposit. If you intentionally failed to return my deposit or send me the statement, I can ask a court for double the amount of my deposit. RCW 59.18.280(2). If I do not receive my full deposit within one week, I may file a lawsuit to recover my deposit. If this becomes necessary and I win, you may have to pay the costs of the lawsuit and attorney's fees. You can send my full deposit to 6921 SE Pardee Unit A, Portland, Or 97206.

Thank you for your cooperation.
