Security Deposit Disputes — Recover What You're Owed

Wrongful Deductions, Late Returns & Statutory Penalty Claims

Most states require landlords to return security deposits within 14 to 30 days — with itemized deductions in writing. Fail that deadline or pad the deductions, and you may be entitled to two or three times the deposit plus attorney fees.

Security Deposit Disputes We Handle

From clear-cut wrongful withholding to complex itemized-deduction challenges.

Wrongful Withholding

Full deposit kept with no itemized statement or legal justification

Late Return Penalties

Missed state-mandated deadlines often trigger 2x or 3x damages

Inflated or Bogus Deductions

Charges for normal wear, repairs not actually done, or made-up costs

Signs You Have a Strong Deposit Claim

If any of these apply, you may be entitled to your full deposit back — plus statutory penalties and attorney fees.

Deadline Has Passed With No Refund

Most states give landlords 14 to 30 days. Past that window with no return and no itemized statement, penalties typically apply.

No Itemized Statement Provided

Landlords must specify each deduction in writing. Vague descriptions like "cleaning" or "damages" without detail often fail legal scrutiny.

Charged for Normal Wear & Tear

Faded paint, worn carpet, or minor scuffs from ordinary use are not lawful deductions in any state.

Repairs Never Actually Performed

Charging for cleaning, painting, or repairs that weren't actually done — or were billed at inflated rates — opens the door to damages claims.

What You Can Recover

Security deposit law is one of the few areas of landlord-tenant law that often shifts attorney fees to the prevailing tenant. Here's what's on the table:

Full Deposit Refund

Recovery of the entire withheld amount — every dollar that wasn't backed by lawful, documented deductions.

Statutory Penalties

Many states allow 2x or 3x the wrongfully withheld amount as a penalty when landlords act in bad faith or miss deadlines.

Attorney Fees & Costs

Most state deposit statutes require the losing landlord to pay your legal fees — making representation effectively cost-free in many cases.

Important: Deposit claims have statute of limitations deadlines ranging from 1 to 6 years depending on the state. Documentation also fades fast — photos, move-out inspection notes, and witness memories all degrade over time. The earlier you act, the stronger your claim.

Why Choose Our Deposit Recovery Attorneys

Deposit cases turn on documentation, deadlines, and knowing exactly what your state's law allows.

Maximum Recovery Focus

We pursue every dollar the law allows — full refund, statutory penalties, and attorney fees — not just the deposit itself.

State-Specific Knowledge

Deposit rules vary dramatically by state — return deadlines, penalty multipliers, fee-shifting provisions. We know your state's specifics.

Flat Fees & Payment Plans

Contingency arrangements available on most deposit claims — and legal plan options for monthly payments when needed. Attorney help made accessible.

Don't Let Your Deposit Disappear

A wrongfully withheld deposit isn't just a few hundred dollars — it's often two or three times that amount when statutory penalties and attorney fees are factored in. Our attorneys handle these claims efficiently, with most matters resolved through demand letters before ever reaching court. Get a free case review and find out what your claim is really worth.
