Your landlord kept your deposit — and you don't know how to fight it.
Landlords often overcharge
Many landlords make improper deductions from security deposits — hoping you won't challenge them.
State law protects you
Your state has laws about when and how landlords can deduct from your deposit — and you have the right to dispute them.
A formal letter shows you're serious
A well-written demand letter with legal references is often enough to get your deposit back.
You have options if they refuse
If the landlord ignores your letter, you can escalate — attorney general complaint or small claims court.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
Can my landlord deduct for normal wear and tear?
No! Normal wear and tear is the landlord's responsibility — not yours. They can only deduct for damage beyond normal wear and tear, like holes in the wall or broken fixtures. We'll help you prove what's normal and what's not.
How long does my landlord have to return my deposit?
It varies by state — usually 14–30 days after you move out. If they don't return it by then, they may have to pay you a penalty. We'll tell you what your state requires.
What if I don't have photos from when I moved in?
You can still dispute the deductions. You can use your testimony, emails, and any other evidence. The guide helps you build a case even if you don't have move-in photos.
What if the landlord says I caused damage I didn't cause?
You can challenge it by asking for proof. The landlord must show evidence that you caused the damage. If they can't, they can't deduct it. We'll help you ask for that proof.
Can I sue my landlord in small claims court?
Yes — small claims court is an affordable way to sue for your deposit. The guide includes steps for small claims court, including how much you can sue for and what to bring.
