DepositOwed
For renters whose landlord kept the deposit

Did your landlord keep your security deposit? See what you're owed in 60 seconds.

Every state sets a deadline for returning deposits. Miss it, and many states let you recover more than the deposit itself. Pick your state, enter your move-out date, and see where you stand. It's free.

How it works

  1. Check for free. Enter your move-out date, deposit and what you got back. You'll see your landlord's legal deadline, whether it has passed, and what your state's law may let you recover.
  2. Preview your letter. We draft a demand letter citing your state's statute, using your details. The start is free to read.
  3. Unlock your kit for $19. Get the full letter, a follow-up letter, a small claims guide for your state and a sending checklist. Instant, one-time, no account.

Your details never leave your device. The letter is generated in your browser.

Not legal advice. Deposit Owed is a self-help tool, not a law firm. We summarize and cite each state's statute so you can check it yourself.
