Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?+
No. DepositDemand generates professional demand letters for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney in your state.
How long does it take?+
Most renters finish the form and download a letter in under five minutes.
Will my landlord actually pay?+
A formal, state-aware demand letter dramatically increases the odds of voluntary payment because it signals you understand your rights and next steps.
What if my landlord ignores the letter?+
Your letter includes a clear response deadline and an escalation notice referencing small claims court. We recommend sending it via certified mail to create a paper trail.
Do you cover all 50 states?+
Yes. We tailor each letter to the deposit return deadlines and statutory damages multipliers in your state, plus Washington, D.C.
Can I edit the letter?+
Absolutely. You can copy the letter to clipboard or download a PDF and edit any sections before sending.
Do I need an account?+
You can preview a free letter without an account. Saving and downloading the full letter requires a free account and a one-time $9.99 unlock or the unlimited plan.
Is my information private?+
Your data is stored securely and never sold. Only you can access your saved letters.
