Move-out, key-handover and deposit-return letter

We draft your key-handover letter for the end of your lease, recording the property’s condition if you want it on record, and requesting return of your deposit. This is not legal advice or representation, and it does not replace a lawsuit if the landlord withholds the deposit without cause.

This is not legal advice or representation. The letter formally records the date you hand over the property and its keys, and, if you describe it, the condition you are returning it in, citing Article 1681, paragraph 10, of the Civil Code (returned with no more wear than ordinary use). It also asks for the deposit back, as agreed in your contract: the Civil Code sets no deadline for that. If the landlord withholds it without cause, the letter reserves your right to demand it under breach of contract (Article 1361) or, if no other action applies, unjust enrichment (Article 1954) — but that route is a lawsuit, and this letter does not start one. Read more in when the deposit must be returned.
Required so the letter can be delivered (via notary or by hand, with proof of receipt).
Describe the general condition, and any pre-existing damage or ordinary wear, room by room if you can.
If the contract sets a deadline, write it here. If not, you can leave this blank and the letter will ask for a reasonable one.

It is a draft that you review and file yourself. It is not legal advice or representation. Delivering it is free and you do not need a lawyer; what you pay for is the drafting.
