How to use this tool
Landlords are legally required to return deposits within a specified timeframe (typically 14–30 days depending on your state/country). A formal written request triggers that clock and creates a paper trail if you need to escalate.
Tips for a stronger letter
- -Reference your move-out date and the condition you left the property in.
- -Include photos of the property at move-out as supporting evidence.
- -Check your local laws — many states require landlords to return deposits within 14–21 days.
- -If they withhold unfairly, you may be entitled to double or triple the deposit in some jurisdictions.
