For Tenants
Get Your Money Back
Landlord kept your deposit without cause? We know the law and we'll get your money back.
The Situation
You moved out, left the apartment in good condition, and your landlord is keeping your security deposit. They're making up damages or just not returning your calls.
What We Do
We demand the deposit back with proper documentation of the apartment's condition. If your landlord refuses, we pursue the matter in Small Claims Court or Civil Court, depending on the amount.
What You Can Expect
Return of your security deposit plus interest. In some cases, if your landlord acted in bad faith, you may be entitled to additional damages.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- • Not documenting the apartment's condition at move-out
- • Not providing a forwarding address
- • Waiting too long to demand the deposit back
- • Accepting a partial refund without understanding your rights
