Security Deposit Recovery Worksheet (Tenant)
Collect the lease, the move-in and move-out condition evidence, the forwarding-address proof and any itemized statement, then test each deduction against what you can actually show. Ends in a dated written demand and, if that fails, an organized file for small claims.

Frequently asked
Does it tell me my state's deadline or penalty?
No — those vary widely and change, so they're fields you look up and enter. Your state housing agency, attorney general's consumer division or court self-help center publishes the current rule.
Is this legal advice?
No — it's forms and organization, not legal advice, and the demand letter is not a statutory notice. A tenants' union, legal aid or your court's small-claims self-help center can check it against your state's requirements for free.
