RE: Confirmation letter regarding Sandy Manajar and Albert Tenant case
Our File No.: 12345
Dear Ms. Wodach:
This letter serves to confirm our telephone conversation from yesterday evening, September 14,
2014 at 7:45 p.m. During the call, we discussed the case cited above involving Ms. Sandy
Manajar and Mr. Albert Tenant. I was hoping that we could determine which issues are agreed
upon by the parties and which issues are in dispute so as to quickly and fairly resolve the case.
We discussed many issues during our conversation. Our clients agree upon a number of key
issues, including the fact that the lease’s term ended on May 31, 2013. The lease contained a 2
week renewal notice requirement, but neither Ms. Manajar nor Mr. Tenant provided a written
notice for renewal. Neither party signed a subsequent lease with the other after the original lease
had expired.
I understand that Ms. Manajar’s main concern is that Mr. Tenant supposedly did not clean the
apartment before vacating it. There also appears to be a discrepancy over the return of the dates
in which Ms. Manajar claims to have received our client’s notice of intent to vacate and the two
keys to the apartment. Mr. Tenant’s position is that he left the apartment spotlessly clean prior to
vacating it. He also affirms that he mailed Ms. Manajar his intent to vacate the apartment around
mid-April 2014, explaining that he intended to be out of the apartment by April 30, 2014. Mr.
Tenant did move out of the apartment by April 30, 2014 and promptly mailed Ms. Manajar the
two apartment keys.
As I disclosed to you over the telephone, our client’s main concern is that he did not receive full
monetary credit for various repairs he did to the home. While your client asserts that she did
give him a free month’s rent for replacing a bookshelf valued at $500.00, our client claims that
he did not receive credit for installing modern sliding glass doors valued at $800.00 to replace
the old, warped balcony doors. Additionally, Ms. Manajar has not yet returned Mr. Tenant’s

$2,800.00 security deposit. Mr. Tenant is requesting that your client promptly return his security
deposit to him.
Some of the information exchanged in our conversation seems to match our record of the events
while others do not. We therefore agreed not to affirm or deny our clients’ allegations at this
point. Our office will follow up with further discovery in this matter. I greatly appreciate your
time and assistance. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
John Vaughn
