We invoke the right state statute
Each state has its own deposit-return rules — California §1950.5, Texas §92.103, New York §7-108, etc. We cite the exact statute, the exact deadline, and the exact damages provision in the demand letter.

Most states give you up to 2-3× the wrongfully withheld amount as statutory damages when the landlord misses the return deadline or fails to itemize properly. Most landlords pay up immediately when they get a letter that names the law correctly.

How we handle it
Each state has its own deposit-return rules — California §1950.5, Texas §92.103, New York §7-108, etc. We cite the exact statute, the exact deadline, and the exact damages provision in the demand letter.
Most states allow 2-3× the wrongfully withheld amount when the landlord acts in bad faith. So a $1,500 deposit can become a $4,500 claim. Our calculator estimates this for you upfront.
If the demand letter doesn't work, we package the small-claims filing — your photos, the lease, the itemization, the certified-mail receipts. Most landlords settle once the summons hits.
