IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Complaint — Housing & money

Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.

When you moved out of your rented flat, your landlord kept half of your deposit for cleaning, although you left the flat clean and have photographs. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter: • explain why you disagree with the charge • mention the evidence you have • say what you will do if the money is not returned

Examiner focus: Disputing a charge with evidence named and the formal next step stated calmly.
