Your landlord has a deadline.
Hold them to it.
Every U.S. state. USPS Certified Mail. From $49.99.
2 minutes to set up. We help you send a certified letter your landlord can't pretend they didn't get — so you can take back what's yours.
Pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 83.49(3)(a), you were required to return the security deposit, or provide written notice of intent to impose a claim, within 15 days of move-out.
That deadline expired on April 15, 2026. Demand is hereby made for the full $1,600.00 within 10 business days of this notice.
Failure to comply may result in the forfeiture of any claim against the deposit and further action…

Why a certified notice does what texts and emails won't.
- 1Most landlords expect tenants to walk away. A statute-cited notice signals you won't.
- 2Certified mail reads like the start of a paper trail — because it is. A formal letter with a tracking number lands differently than a text.
- 3Many disputes resolve as soon as the landlord sees the tenant is ready to escalate. The certified notice is that first visible step.
- 4You end up with a dated, signed record that you asked for your deposit back. Useful in any conversation that follows.
- 5If you ever bring in an attorney, the file is already organized. Notice, tracking, delivery scan, and timeline — all in one place.
We're honest about what this is.
- ✓ Creates a statute-cited letter for your landlord. Quotes the specific section of your state's deposit law and the deadline they missed.
- ✓ Mails it via USPS Certified Mail — same day. Tracking number issued the moment it leaves. Signed delivery scan goes straight to your dashboard.
- ✓ Keeps your full mailing record on file. Tracking, receipts, scans, dates — ready to hand to a lawyer if you ever need one.
- ✓ Links you to your state's official tenant resources. The actual statute, the actual hotlines, the actual small-claims info — straight from the source.
- ✕Can't guarantee your landlord will pay
- ✕Doesn't serve as your attorney
- ✕Won't appear in court for you
- ✕Doesn't give legal advice
- ✕Isn't a legal service
This is a self-help software platform. Many tenants get their deposit back after sending a certified notice — results depend on your specific situation.

Your draft to approve
We write the letter using your state's deposit statute. You read it, edit if you want, and approve. Nothing ships until you say go.

Frequently asked questions.
Is this legal advice?
No. SecurityDepositBack is a self-help software platform. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Templates are reviewed by licensed attorneys before publication; use of this site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What states do you cover?
Every U.S. state. Each letter uses state-specific language and deadlines, sourced from the official statute for the state you select.
What if my landlord doesn't respond?
Many landlords respond after receiving a certified demand letter, but results vary. If yours doesn't, the optional follow-up letter is sent only with your approval, 7 days after delivery of the first letter.
What's in the Full Case File?
Case summary, every letter we sent, mailing history, evidence checklist, official state resources, lawyer handoff sheet, and a ZIP export of all uploaded files. Available as a $24.99 add-on after your letter is delivered.
Is the follow-up automatic or optional?
Optional. You review and approve every letter before anything is sent.
Can I cancel after I pay?
Yes — 48 hours to cancel for any reason before we drop the letter at USPS. Full refund.
How does certified mail help?
USPS Certified Mail creates a documented mailing record with tracking and delivery status — your landlord can't credibly claim they never received it. The signed delivery receipt is also exhibit one if your case ever ends up in small-claims court.
Take it back.
It begins with a deadline.
