What could you recover?

Many states let tenants pursue 2× or 3× a wrongfully withheld deposit.

Why a statute-cited letter works

Deadlines are real law

Every state gives landlords a fixed number of days to return your deposit or itemize deductions. Miss it, and many states expose them to double or triple damages — some add attorney's fees on top.

Landlords do the math

A letter that names the statute, the missed deadline, and the exact dollar exposure reads very differently from an angry text. It signals you know your rights and are prepared to use small claims court.

Certified mail is evidence

We send your letter by USPS Certified Mail with tracking. If you do end up in court, the delivery record shows exactly when your landlord was put on notice.

How it works

1. Answer questions

Your state, deposit, dates, landlord's mailing address, and what happened — in plain English. About 3 minutes.

2. Review your letter

We assemble a formal demand letter from your facts and your state's current statute — citation, deadline, and remedies included. You approve it before anything mails.

3. We print & mail it

USPS Certified Mail with tracking, usually the next business day. You get the PDF too, plus delivery updates as it moves.
