You moved out. Left the place clean. Asked for your money back. And got silence, excuses, or a fraction of what you're owed.
You're not alone, and you're not stuck. There's a way to handle this — calmly, properly, and on paper — with a record your landlord can't easily ignore.
If your landlord still won't cooperate, you won't be starting from zero.
A certified notice changes the situation because it creates a record. And if your landlord still refuses to respond, you'll already have everything documented and ready for the next step.
After delivery, DepositsBack gives you a Complete Case Bundle: your notices with timestamps, USPS mailing history, case timeline, uploaded documents, evidence checklist, state small-claims court information, filing-limit references, legal aid contacts, and an attorney handoff sheet.
It's the paperwork you would spend hours trying to assemble yourself — organized, dated, and kept with your case.
You're not paying $49.99 for a letter. You're paying for a complete recovery file — yours forever, even if you end up in court.
A free template still leaves the hard part to you — writing it right for your state, mailing it certified, tracking it, and following up. A lawyer can charge a few hundred dollars for the same thing. DepositsBack.app does all of it for $49.99: your state-specific notice, certified mailing, delivery tracking, and a second follow-up if your landlord ignores the first.
Lawyer rates vary by region and engagement. Free template assumes you handle USPS Certified Mail, tracking, and follow-up yourself.
Security deposit deadlines and notice rules vary by state. DepositsBack.app uses your state to prepare a state-specific self-help notice and show general deadline information from official sources before you continue.
Tap your state to see deadline, statute, and penalty rules before you start.
You fill in the facts once. DepositsBack.app prepares your state-specific notice from your information, lets you review it, mails approved notices by USPS Certified Mail, tracks delivery, and keeps the follow-up ready if your landlord ignores the first notice.
Illustrative previews. Real cases use your actual information.
DepositsBack.app keeps your case moving through a clear cycle: deadline check, notice preparation, your approval, certified mailing, tracking, response upload, reminders, and follow-up if your landlord ignores it.
That's where the package matters. You can upload a response, keep tracking silence, and use the included certified follow-up if needed.
You get the first certified notice, USPS Certified Mail tracking, dashboard reminders, response upload, an optional second certified follow-up if your landlord ignores the first notice, and your Complete Case Bundle after delivery — all in one flat $49.99 package.
Your $49.99 package includes the first certified notice, USPS Certified Mail tracking, an optional second certified follow-up if your landlord ignores the first notice, and your Complete Case Bundle after delivery. You approve before anything is mailed.

You are paying for a certified notice workflow: your first state-specific certified notice, USPS Certified Mail tracking, dashboard reminders, response upload, and an optional second certified follow-up if your landlord ignores the first notice. You review before anything is mailed.
No. DepositsBack.app is a self-help software platform. We are not a law firm, do not provide legal advice, and do not represent you. You provide your information, review the notice, and approve before anything is mailed.
All 50 states. DepositsBack.app uses your selected state to prepare a state-specific self-help notice and show general deadline information from official sources before you continue.
Your $49.99 package includes an optional second certified follow-up notice if your landlord ignores the first notice. It becomes available after delivery, and it is sent only if you review and approve it.
If your landlord still doesn't respond after both notices, you have a documented paper trail ready for the next step: Small Claims Court. Your Complete Case Bundle includes your notices with timestamps, USPS delivery proof, state small-claims filing limits, and an attorney handoff sheet — everything organized so you (or a lawyer) can act on it without starting from scratch. Most states allow claims up to $5,000–$10,000 without an attorney.
DepositsBack.app doesn't represent you in court, but it gives you a head start. Your Complete Case Bundle includes a case summary, all notices with USPS tracking, delivery history, uploaded documents, state small-claims court information, filing-limit references, and an attorney handoff sheet. If you end up in court, you'll have organized records instead of a folder of screenshots and texts. Most tenants handle Small Claims Court themselves — no lawyer required.
The Complete Case Bundle is included in your $49.99 package and becomes available to generate after delivery, for your records or attorney review. It can include your case summary, notices, USPS mailing history, evidence checklist, official resources, attorney handoff materials, and a ZIP export of uploaded files.
Optional. The second certified follow-up is not mailed automatically. You review and approve it before anything is sent.
Yes. You can upload supporting documents to your case so your notices, landlord responses, mailing history, and records stay organized in one place.
You can track delivery, upload any landlord response, keep your case organized, and use the optional second certified follow-up if your landlord ignores the first notice.
USPS Certified Mail creates a documented mailing record with tracking and delivery status. It does not guarantee that your landlord will respond or pay, but it gives you a clearer record than texts or emails alone.
No. Nothing is mailed until you review and approve it. This applies to both the first notice and the optional second certified follow-up.
No. DepositsBack.app does not guarantee payment or any legal outcome. The service helps you prepare a self-help notice, send it by USPS Certified Mail, track delivery, and keep your records organized.
Check your state deadline first. If you continue, DepositsBack.app prepares your notice, mails approved notices by USPS Certified Mail, tracks delivery, and keeps the follow-up ready if your landlord ignores it.
