Why a free template won’t work
Templates give you words. You need a verdict, leverage, and a plan.
They didn’t know they had a case.

Frequently asked questions
It analyzes your situation against your state's deposit laws, identifies specific violations your landlord may have committed, calculates potential penalties, and rates your case strength. No sign-up required.
A template gives you blank words to fill in. DepositReady diagnoses whether your landlord actually broke the law, calculates penalties most renters don't know about, and builds an enforcement packet from your specific violations — not generic fill-in-the-blank text.
A Recovery Packet built from your case: a demand letter citing your landlord's exact violations and the statutes they broke, penalty calculations, an evidence checklist tailored to your situation, and a follow-up escalation timeline.
Your packet includes a follow-up template and escalation timeline. With the Expert Review add-on, you also get counter-argument prep and a small claims filing guide.
No. DepositReady is a self-help documentation tool, not a law firm. We identify potential violations and generate state-specific documents, but we don't provide legal advice or represent you.
If you use our documents and don't recover your deposit, we refund your purchase in full. No questions asked.
