Security Deposit Demand Letter for Tenants Moving Out

This form will help you draft a demand letter to send to your landlord if they have not returned your security deposit within 30 days after your lease ended. If your landlord does not return your deposit, you may get up to 3 times your deposit back from your landlord as a penalty.

Can I use this interview?

This interview is the right one to use if:

• You recently vacated (moved out of) a residential rental property (an apartment)
• You vacated the apartment at least 30 days ago
• Your landlord has not returned your security deposit

If you lived with other people and you each paid your portion of the security deposit seperately, you should each send your own demand letter.
