About this Gig
Is your former landlord ignoring your calls or making up excuses to keep your money? In many US states, landlords are legally required to return your deposit within 14 to 30 days. If they fail, they may be liable for double or even triple the deposit amount in "bad faith" penalties.
I am Thomas P. Griswold, a licensed US Attorney (#002713). I will draft an aggressive, legally sound demand letter designed to scare negligent landlords into returning your money immediately.
This gig is perfect if your landlord:
- Missed the state-mandated deadline to return your deposit.
- Failed to provide an itemized list of deductions.
- Stopped communicating with you after you moved out.
A formal letter drafted by a lawyer shifts the power dynamic instantly. Landlords know that going to small claims court against a prepared tenant will cost them heavily. I will cite the specific laws they are violating to ensure they take you seriously.
Don't let a landlord steal your hard-earned money. Claim what is rightfully yours. Choose your package and order now for rapid delivery.

FAQ
Do I have the right to get my money back?
If your landlord missed the statutory deadline or kept money without itemized proof, you likely have a strong claim.
What are treble damages?
In many states, if a landlord wrongfully keeps your deposit in "bad faith," a judge can award you 2 to 3 times the original amount.
Will this guarantee my money back?
While no lawyer can guarantee an outcome, an attorney-drafted letter is the most effective pre-litigation tool to force payment.
Do you review the landlord's deduction list?
Yes, in the Standard and Premium packages, I will review their claims and draft a rebuttal.
Can I use this letter in Small Claims Court?
Yes, judges expect to see that you sent a formal demand letter before filing a lawsuit.
What if the landlord still ignores me?
If they ignore the letter, your next step is filing in Small Claims Court, using this letter as your primary exhibit of proof.
