About this Gig
Has your landlord wrongfully withheld your security deposit? In almost every US state, landlords are bound by strict timelines and rules regarding the return of tenant deposits. If they fail to provide an itemized list of deductions or withhold money for "normal wear and tear," they are breaking the law.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #156432), I draft highly effective security deposit demand letters that cite state laws. Landlords often withhold funds hoping tenants won't fight back. A demand letter drafted by a legal professional immediately signals that you know your rights.
This letter will boldly address:
- Unlawful deductions for normal wear and tear.
- Failure to meet the state's statutory deadline for return.
- Demands for statutory damages (many states allow you to sue for 2x or 3x the deposit amount if withheld in bad faith).
Get your money back without going to small claims court. Order now to enforce your rights as a tenant.

FAQ
Do you tailor the letter to my specific state's laws?
Yes, for Premium orders, I research and cite your specific state's landlord-tenant statutes regarding security deposits.
What is "normal wear and tear"?
Landlords cannot charge you for the natural deterioration of the property (like faded paint). I specifically address this in the letter.
Can I use this for a commercial lease?
Yes, I can draft demand letters for both residential and commercial security deposit disputes.
What if the landlord ignored my previous emails?
A formal legal demand letter carries significantly more weight than an email and is required as evidence if you end up in small claims court.
What do you need to start?
I need your lease dates, the deposit amount, the landlord's stated reason for keeping it (if any), and your state.
