Formal demand for return of a rental deposit (Italy)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Italy and the landlord has not returned the deposit.
For a tenant in Italy who has moved out and returned the keys but has not had the deposit back: the formal demand to the landlord to return the deposit with legal interest accrued year by year (art. 11 of Italian Law no. 392 of 27 July 1978) within fifteen days, disputing any unjustified deductions and warning that mediation or court action will follow otherwise. Sent by registered post with proof of receipt, or by PEC if the landlord has a PEC address. In Italian.
Out-of-court demand for the return of a rental deposit (Greece)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Greece and the landlord still has not returned your deposit.
The out-of-court demand (εξώδικη πρόσκληση) by which a former tenant in Greece asks the landlord to return the deposit. The law sets neither the amount nor a deadline — the lease does — and the landlord's claims for damage lapse six months after the home is handed back (Article 602 of the Greek Civil Code). The demand gives ten days, puts the landlord in default, and is served by a court bailiff, so the report of service proves its content and date before a payment order is sought.
Receipt for a returned deposit
Why it matches: Your tenancy in Bulgaria is ending and the landlord is returning your deposit.
The document that closes a tenancy. The receipt shows the deposit that was paid, the sums withheld and the ground for each, and states expressly whether any claims remain. If a landlord withholds part of a deposit without setting that out, the argument afterwards is conducted with no record from either side.
Demand for the return of a rental deposit (Spain)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Spain and the landlord still has not returned your deposit.
For a tenant in Spain whose landlord has not returned the deposit after the keys were handed back: the letter claiming the deposit and any additional guarantee, with the statutory interest that runs once a month has passed since the keys were returned (article 36.4 of the Spanish Urban Leases Act), rejecting deductions the tenant does not accept and inviting the landlord to negotiate for thirty days, as Spain's Organic Law 1/2025 requires before going to court. Sent by burofax with certified content and proof of receipt. In Spanish.
Formal demand for the return of a rent deposit (France)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in France and the landlord still has not returned your deposit.
For a former tenant whose landlord in France has not returned the deposit in time: one month after the keys are handed back if the check-out inspection matches the check-in, two months otherwise. The French letter sets out the dates, claims the balance and the 10 % of the monthly rent per month of delay begun (art. 22 of the French law of 6 July 1989), disputes unjustified deductions and announces the conciliation commission, then the court. By registered letter with proof of receipt.
Letter demanding the return of a tenancy deposit (Austria)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Austria and the landlord still has not returned your deposit.
The letter a tenant in Austria sends after moving out to get the deposit back. It states the end of the tenancy, the return of the flat and the deposit, sets a deadline to repay it with interest — or to hand back the savings book or bank guarantee — asks for a clear account of anything kept back, and names the next step. Where the Austrian Tenancy Act (MRG) applies, § 16b MRG requires repayment without delay, enforceable through the Schlichtungsstelle or the district court. In German, for every Land.
Letter demanding the return of a rental deposit (Germany)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Germany and the landlord still has not returned your deposit.
The letter a tenant in Germany sends after moving out to get the deposit back. It states the end of the tenancy, the handover and the deposit, demands repayment with interest under § 551(3) of the German Civil Code (BGB) — or release of the pledged deposit account or the guarantee — by a deadline, asks for an itemised settlement with receipts, and limits any retention to a fair part for the outstanding service-charge bill. German law sets no fixed repayment date, so the letter promises none. In German, to print, sign and send.
Demand for the return of a deposit (Cyprus)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Cyprus and the landlord has not returned your deposit.
A former tenant's written demand to a landlord in Cyprus for a deposit that has not been returned. It refers to the lease, the amount of the deposit and the date the home was handed back, states that no rent is owed and there is no damage beyond ordinary wear, and gives 14 days to pay into a bank account before going to court. It encloses the documents and asks for a written reply within 14 days, as the Civil Procedure Rules require before a claim for a sum of money. It is sent by registered post so that the sending can be proved.
Demand for the return of a rental deposit (Romania)
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Romania and the landlord has not returned your deposit.
The letter in which a former tenant in Romania demands back a deposit the landlord has not returned. It is written as a summons under art. 1015 of the Code of Civil Procedure — with 15 days to pay — so that, sent by registered post with declared contents and acknowledgment of receipt, it opens the way to a payment order if the money is not returned.
Demand for return of a rental deposit
Why it matches: You moved out of a rented flat in Poland and the landlord still has not returned your deposit.
A tenant's letter to a landlord in Poland who has not returned the deposit after moving out: when the flat was vacated, how much is to be repaid, by when and to which account, with a request for a written account of every deduction. The landlord has a month from the flat being vacated; after that interest runs, and the letter also shows the attempt at an amicable solution a court will ask about.

Why it matches: You have moved out of a rented flat in Spain and the landlord will not come for the keys.
For a tenant in Spain leaving a home when the landlord does not come for the keys, does not answer or refuses to take them: the letter telling the landlord from which day the home is vacant, why the keys were not handed over in person and where they can be collected, describing the state of the home with meter readings and dated photos, and recalling the interest on a deposit not returned (article 36.4 of the Spanish Urban Leases Act). Sent by burofax with certified content and proof of receipt. In Spanish.
Move-out record on returning a rented home (Greece)
Why it matches: The landlord wants to keep part of the deposit for damage and you need to put in writing how much and why.
The record a landlord and tenant in Greece sign when the lease ends and the home is handed back: its condition, damage beyond ordinary wear, meter readings, keys, and the settlement of the deposit — how much is kept, why, and when the rest is returned. The landlord's claims for damage lapse six months after taking the home back (Article 602 of the Greek Civil Code), so the record's date and contents carry real weight.

For the tenant and the landlord of a home in Spain when the lease ends: the record both sign when the keys are handed back, with the date of return, the meter readings, the keys returned, the state of each room, the damage the landlord points out and the tenant's comments, the deposit paid, what they agree about it and the account for its return.

Move-out record and deposit settlement (Cyprus)
Why it matches: You want a signed move-out record that settles how much of the deposit is returned and when.

Check-out inventory of condition of a home (France)
Why it matches: You want to separate normal wear and tear from real damage before the deposit is returned.
For the landlord and tenant in France on the day of moving out and returning the keys. The French record follows décret n° 2016-382: the tenant's new address, the date of the check-in inventory, meter readings, keys returned, the condition of each room against moving in and, for a furnished home, the furniture. It separates normal wear, which stays with the landlord, from damage, and recalls the time limit for returning the deposit. Signed by each party, one copy each.
Handover record for a flat on moving out (Austria)
Why it matches: You want a handover record for the flat signed by both sides, noting the deposit and its return.
The record of handing a rented flat in Austria back at the end of the tenancy, filled in and signed together: the date of return, meter readings for the final bills, keys returned, the condition of each room, the damage the landlord points out beside the tenant's view of it, any agreements, the deposit and the account for its return. The date starts the clocks under the Austrian Civil Code: one year for the landlord's damage claims (§ 1111 ABGB), six months for the tenant's outlays (§ 1097 ABGB). In German.

The handover date matters: under § 548 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the landlord's claims for changes to or deterioration of the flat lapse six months after it is returned. In German, to print, fill in together and sign by both sides.
Flat handover record — move-out
Why it matches: Your landlord wants to keep part of the deposit for repainting and you want it settled on the spot.
The record made when a rented flat in Poland is returned at the end of the tenancy: the state of the flat and furnishings compared with the move-in record, meter readings, keys returned, damage found and the deposit settlement — how much is deducted, for what, and to which account the rest goes back. Settling it on the spot is the simplest way to keep the deposit out of court.
Tenant's notice ending a flat tenancy
Why it matches: You want to end your rental agreement and arrange the handover of the flat and the return of your deposit.
A tenant's written notice ending a Polish residential tenancy: which flat, which agreement, what notice period and on what basis, and the date the tenancy ends. The letter also asks to arrange the handover with a record and for the deposit to be returned. The notice period runs from delivery, not from writing, so send it in a way that proves receipt.

Why it matches: Your landlord wants to keep part of the deposit and you want it written down how much and why.
The record made at move-out, when the tenant hands a Romanian rented home back: its condition, any damage beyond ordinary wear, the meter readings, the keys returned and the deposit — the amount paid, how much is kept and why, and when the rest is returned.
