FAQ
No. We are a document preparation service, not a law firm. We prepare letters based on publicly available state statutes and information you provide. We do not provide legal advice. For complex situations, consult a licensed attorney.
We follow up at D+3, D+7, and D+10. The Two-Letter Package ($65) includes an automatic second certified demand at D+7 — many landlords only respond after receiving a second letter. If still no response, the Court Kit ($39) gives you everything to file in small claims court.
Setup takes under 5 minutes. Once you approve the letter it’s submitted same day. Your landlord typically receives it in 2–5 business days. Most landlords who respond do so within 7–10 days of delivery.
In most states you can still demand your deposit back. Missing the deadline often gives you additional leverage — many states allow penalties of 2× or 3× the deposit amount for late returns. Send the letter as soon as possible.
Yes — many landlords respond within days of receiving certified mail because it creates an official legal record. Unlike emails or texts, a certified demand letter demonstrates you know your rights and are prepared to escalate. Many landlords settle immediately to avoid small claims court.
No. You can fill in all details manually. Uploading your lease lets us automatically extract landlord name, address, dates, and deposit amount — saving time and reducing errors.
Most landlords respond after a certified demand letter. The first step is checking whether your landlord has missed their legal deadline.
