A clear objection identifies the charge, cites evidence and states the outcome you want.
The idea
Use no estoy de acuerdo con to challenge a deduction, and ¿podría enviarme...? to request evidence politely. After solicito que, use the subjunctive to request action.
Examples
- No estoy de acuerdo con la deducción por limpieza.I disagree with the cleaning deduction.
- ¿Podría enviarme una factura desglosada de la reparación?Could you send me an itemized invoice for the repair?
- En el acta de entrada ya constaba la mancha de la pared.The stain on the wall was already noted in the move-in report.
- Las fotos que tomamos al salir muestran el estado del suelo.The photos we took when moving out show the condition of the floor.
- La cantidad retenida no coincide con el presupuesto que recibí.The amount withheld does not match the estimate I received.
- Solicitamos que revisen el cargo y nos devuelvan la diferencia.We ask you to review the charge and return the difference to us.

Watch out
Do not use devuelven after solicito que: the request calls for devuelvan.
