About this service

Security deposit statutes are unusually tenant-friendly: fixed deadlines, automatic penalties, and in many states, attorney's fees. But most renters never use them, because the gap between “the law is on my side” and “a formal letter citing the statute is in my landlord's hands, delivered certified” feels like it requires a lawyer.

It doesn't. That gap is paperwork, and paperwork can be systematized. We maintain the statute data for all 50 states and DC, keep it tied to the official sources, turn your facts into a formal demand letter you approve before paying, and handle the part people put off forever — printing it and standing in line at the post office.

We're a document preparation service, not a law firm, and we're deliberate about that line: the letter says what your state's statute says, no more. When a situation needs judgment — a complex dispute, a large claim, a landlord with a lawyer — the right move is a licensed attorney in your state, and our materials say so.
