The AI guide
Get My Security Deposit Back
An AI guide that walks beside you while you get your deposit back — one calm step at a time.
Standing up to a landlord can feel like facing someone who holds all the cards. They sound confident. The deduction list looks official. Court seems confusing, and a lawyer would cost more than the deposit. So most tenants quietly let it go — not because they're wrong, but because they're facing it alone.
This is built to change that one thing. Get My Security Deposit Back is an AI guide that stays beside you the whole way — helping you see what your landlord actually did wrong, write the demand letter, and prepare for small claims court if it comes to that. And here's what it keeps reminding you of: the law puts the burden on them. Your landlord is the one who has to justify every dollar they kept.
You don't need legal experience. You don't need to know what to say. You don't need to figure any of it out alone. You upload the guide, paste one short message, and it begins — asking one question at a time, building your case with you, right there whenever you get stuck.
What it helps you do
Not a generic legal guide
It moves with you through the actual recovery process, in the right order, so you're never wondering what comes next. Along the way it helps you:
- Understand your state's security deposit deadline
- Check whether the itemized list arrived on time
- Identify improper deductions for cleaning, paint, repairs, or wear
- Calculate what you may be owed under your state's law
- Prepare a demand letter to send your landlord
- Organize your lease, messages, receipts, and photos
- Prepare small claims paperwork if the landlord refuses
- Build a simple timeline of what happened
- Prepare what to say at the hearing
- Handle settlement offers
- Know what to do if you win and they still don't pay
You stay in control the whole time. It does the hard thinking; you make the decisions — and you're never doing it by yourself.

Never used AI before?
That's okay — this was built for beginners
You don't have to understand AI. You don't have to "prompt engineer" anything. You don't have to know legal words or sound smart. The guide contains the instructions; once you upload it, the AI knows exactly how to help and what role to play.
Think of it less like "using AI" and more like sitting down with a patient guide who already knows the process. It asks. You answer. It helps you take the next small step. And if you don't know an answer, you can simply say "I don't know" — and it'll help you figure out what to look for. You're never on the spot, and you're never alone with a blank page.
The core principle
The landlord has to justify the deductions
In a deposit dispute, the landlord generally has to prove the deduction was allowed, the charge was reasonable, the damage was beyond normal wear, the work was actually done, the cost was supported by receipts, the itemized notice was timely, and the law was followed.
You don't automatically lose because they sent a deduction list. You don't lose because they say the unit needed cleaning or paint. And you don't lose because the whole thing feels intimidating — that feeling is normal, and it isn't evidence. The only question that matters is whether the landlord followed the rules and can prove the deductions. The guide keeps you steady and focused on exactly that, the whole way through.

This is legal information and document-preparation support. It is not legal advice and does not replace a licensed attorney.
What pursuing this typically costs
Inexpensive to begin
Every state is different, but many deposit cases cost little to start. To reach the demand-letter stage, typical costs include the guide, about a month of paid AI access, and certified mail. If it proceeds to small claims, add a filing fee and service costs.
The total is a small fraction of what a lawyer would charge — there's almost no scenario where hiring an attorney for a deposit dispute would cost less than doing it yourself this way. And the landlord often faces a very different calculation. Defending a deposit case with a lawyer can cost more than simply returning the money. That imbalance is one reason a serious demand letter can matter.
