Subject: Claim for damage and dilapidations at __________ under __________
Dear Sir or Madam,
1. BACKGROUND
2. THE CLAIM
2.3 I have not included anything that is fair wear and tear, meaning the ordinary ageing of the Premises through proper use over the time of the Lease.
2.4 The cost of each item is my reasonable and actual cost, or the cost shown by the quotations I have obtained. If I have not yet incurred an item, the amount is a reasonable estimate and I shall adjust it to the actual cost when the work is done.
3. YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT
4. EVIDENCE AND YOUR RESPONSE
4.3 The undisputed part of the deposit balance shall be paid as in clause 3.3 without waiting for the disputed items to be settled.
5. RIGHTS RESERVED
5.1 This claim is made without prejudice to my other rights under the Lease and the law. If a further item comes to light which could not reasonably have been found at the inspection, I may claim it by a further letter.
5.2 This letter is not a waiver of any right or a settlement of any other account between us, including rent, CAM, utilities and taxes due under the Lease.
