Deposit Rescue · $79.99 one-time
They kept your money. Let's go get it.
Here's the thing landlords count on you not knowing: they can't just keep a deposit. Your state requires specific things from them to hold it — and deadlines run on both sides, sometimes on you. Rescue figures out exactly where your case stands, checks whether they did what's required, and gets the right letters out — certified, tracked, done for you.
Got their deduction letter? Check it — free.
Upload what your landlord sent and we'll size up what they're claiming in about a minute. Don't have it? You can start without it.
How the rescue works
01
Tell us what happened
A few questions about your move-out, what (if anything) your landlord sent, and what they kept. Upload the lease and their deduction letter if you have them.
02
We map both clocks
Where your case actually stands: which of your landlord's deadlines have passed, which are still running — and whether any deadline is running on you. In some states, renters have their own windows to respond or object, and missing one can cost you the money.
03
Start the clock if it never started
Never sent a written forwarding address? In some states, your landlord's return deadline hasn't even begun. Often the first rescue move is starting it — by certified mail, with proof.
04
The withholding check
To keep any of your deposit, your landlord has to follow your state's rules — itemized statements, documentation, deadlines. We go through their deduction list line by line and check that every requirement was actually met.
05
The demand letter, mailed for you
A letter laying out what your state requires and what you may be entitled to pursue — prepared for your approval, then printed, certified-mailed, and tracked. You never touch an envelope.
06
Deadline watch + ready-to-file packet
We monitor the response window. If they still don't pay, you get a completed small-claims packet and an evidence binder built from everything gathered along the way.
The honest version of "how much can I get?"
It depends on your state and your facts. Many states put penalties on landlords who miss deadlines or withhold without following the rules — in some, that can mean you may be entitled to pursue more than the deposit itself. In others, the win is simply your money back, in full, faster. Rescue tells you exactly which it is for you — and never promises an outcome, because nobody honestly can.
