Is the dispute letter draft legal advice?

No. CAMAudit generates a draft grounded in your audit findings, not legal advice. The draft references your specific lease clauses and the overcharge calculations. For large amounts or unresponsive landlords, have a commercial real estate attorney review the letter before sending.

Can I switch tones after generating?

Yes. You can regenerate the dispute letter in any of the three tones as many times as you need. The findings stay the same; only the language and framing changes. Most tenants generate all three and pick the one that fits the situation.

Should I send by email or certified mail?

Send by email for a documented record with timestamps. Use certified mail if your lease requires formal notice for disputes or if you want proof of delivery for legal purposes. Many tenants send both: email first, then certified mail the same day.

What if my landlord ignores the letter?

A non-response within the timeline specified in the letter is itself a useful data point. Your lease may specify a formal dispute process or arbitration. CAMAudit's audit findings and math proofs are the documentation you would bring to that process.

Your Dispute Letter Draft: Pick a Tone, Send It, Get Paid Back

Your dispute letter draft is grounded in your audit findings. Here is how to pick a tone, customize it, and send it. The tone you pick changes how your landlord responds. Choose based on the relationship, not the anger.

Choose your tone

Three options:

Collaborative

Assumes the discrepancy might be a mistake. Asks your property manager to review and correct. Works well if you have a long-term relationship you want to preserve.

Neutral

States the findings and the lease provisions factually. No emotional framing. Requests a response within a standard business timeline.

Aggressive

Asserts breach of lease language, cites the overcharge amount, and requests a credit or refund within a specific deadline. Use when you have already tried informal channels.

This is a draft, not legal advice

CAMAudit generates a draft grounded in your audit findings. Review it before sending. If the amount is significant or your landlord is unresponsive, a commercial real estate attorney can review the letter before it goes out.

Review and edit

The draft is pre-filled with your specific findings: each overcharge, the lease clause that was violated, and the dollar amount. You can edit any section in the editor before downloading.

Common edits: adjusting the salutation, adding your address, specifying how you want the credit applied, or softening language before a first send.

Download as a PDF. Send by email for a documented record, or certified mail if you need proof of receipt.

Keep a copy in your records along with the full audit report. If your landlord disputes your numbers, the math proofs and lease citations are your documentation.
