Deposit Demand Letter
Your landlord kept your security deposit and it's been past the statutory return window. Paste your state, the addresses, the amounts, and the reason they gave (or the silence you got).

Never invents case law, never fabricates statute text, always ends with the state's official self-help URL for you to verify.

What does deposit demand letter do?
Your landlord kept your security deposit and it's been past the statutory return window. Paste your state, the addresses, the amounts, and the reason they gave (or the silence you got). Get back a formal demand letter that cites your state's statute BY NUMBER, computes what you're owed including any statutory multiplier the state allows, plus a softer variant, a firmer variant, and a small-claims next-steps companion.

What does the Deposit Demand Letter tool do?
Paste your state, the property and forwarding addresses, the deposit amount, the return deadline, and the reason your landlord gave (or the silence). One AI pass returns a formal demand letter that cites your state's security-deposit statute by number, computes what you are owed with any statutory multiplier the state allows, and ends with the state's official self-help URL.
How does it know my state's statute?
Every US state has a security-deposit statute in its landlord-tenant code, and the letter cites yours by number (for example, California Civil Code section 1950.5 or New York General Obligations Law section 7-108). It never fabricates statute text and always ends with your state's official self-help URL so you can verify the citation yourself before mailing.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a formal demand letter written for you, not legal counsel. The letter cites your state's statute by number and computes what you are owed, but it does not represent you, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the footer directs you to your state's official self-help site to verify everything before sending.
Does it work in all US states?
Yes. The tool covers all fifty states plus DC. Each state has its own statutory return window (usually 14 to 60 days), its own permitted deductions, and its own multiplier when a landlord withholds in bad faith (some states allow two or three times the wrongfully withheld amount). The letter is calibrated per state.
What if my landlord ignores the letter?
The output includes a small-claims next-steps companion block: what to file, where to file it in your state, what to bring (the letter, your lease, move-in and move-out photos, the return-window math), and how the statutory multiplier is claimed if your state allows one. You get the follow-up path without paying twice.
How is this different from a free template I can find online?
A generic template does not cite your state's statute by number, does not compute your return-window math, and does not include a small-claims next-steps block for when the landlord goes silent. Here you get the state-specific letter, a softer variant, a firmer variant, and the follow-up path in one pay-per-use run with no subscription.
How much does it cost per letter, and do I need a subscription?
No subscription. Each run costs 40 produde tokens. Tokens are a prepaid platform credit you buy once and spend across any produde tool, so you pay per letter instead of a monthly legal-help fee. If a run fails, the full token cost is refunded to your wallet automatically.
Can I preserve the relationship, or push harder?
Every run returns two tone variants alongside the formal letter. The softer variant is right when you still like the landlord and want the deposit back without burning the reference. The firmer variant is right when the landlord is stonewalling; it names the statute, the deadline, and the small-claims filing threat by date.
What does it cost?
40 tokens per run. Produde tokens are a prepaid platform credit; buy them once and spend on any tool.
Do I pay if a run doesn't complete?
No. You only pay for results. If a run can't finish, its full token cost stays in your wallet automatically.
