What happens after my notice is delivered

Once your certified notice is delivered, your case moves into a waiting period. Here's what you can do inside DepositsBack.app.

Quick answer
Track delivery, upload anything you receive, optionally request a follow-up notice, and download your Case Bundle when you need it.

Track delivery

Your USPS tracking number stays attached to your case. You can check delivery status at any time from your case dashboard.

Wait for a response

After delivery, you wait to hear from your landlord. Timelines vary by state. Your case page shows general state information for reference.

If your landlord responds

Landlord responses can come through different channels — phone, email, text, mail, or SMS. From your case dashboard, you tell DepositsBack.app how you got their answer, and it pulls out the key details (issues, amounts, dates, attorney info) so you can see what they’re claiming at a glance. Your state’s statute and small-claims limit are shown alongside for context. See What if my landlord responds? for the full flow.

Optional follow-up notice

If you do not hear back, you can request an optional follow-up notice. You review and approve it before anything is sent.

Download your Case Bundle

At any point after delivery, you can download the Complete Case Bundle — your notices, mailing history, case summary, attorney handoff sheet, and official resources packaged into one ZIP.

You decide your next step

DepositsBack.app does not represent you in court or advise you on what to do next. The records are yours to use for self-help, attorney review, or reference.
