Is there an Art to Communicating Security Deposit Charges?

[Kraig Kujawa]

Hi there,

I have a single family house that the tenant generally took good care of, but let the lawn mostly die and left some large screws in the wall. I carefully documented it all, along with photos and got quotes for the lawn itself.  I'm now ready to mail the remainder of the deposit, and when I asked for their new mailing address, I got this response:

"I put a lot of effort to return your house in the best possible conditions. Was there anything wrong from our part?"

Is there any reason I shouldn't just paste in my findings into a response, or is there another idea or recommendation you all have?

Thanks!
