Security Deposit Recovery Kit | Deposit Demand Letter | Move Out Checklist | Small Claims Tenant Forms | Fillable PDF | Instant Download

Did your landlord keep your security deposit, or charge you for normal wear and tear? Every state has rules about when and how a landlord must return your deposit. The ReadyPro Se Security Deposit Recovery Kit helps you document your move-out, demand your money in writing, and take your landlord to small claims court if needed, in plain English.

Created by ReadyPro Se, the first self-help legal tech tool created by J.D.s and attorneys, not tech companies.

The guide walks you through six stages, from move-out day to collecting your money. Each stage fits on one page, with a diagram, a short "Do This" list, the tools to use, the mistakes to avoid, and the key deadline.

The kit includes a fully completed sample statement of claim for a deposit case, with a note beside each part explaining what it does and why.

The forms are FILLABLE PDFs. Type directly into each box, then print. Many boxes start with sample wording you simply edit. Legal words in the guide are highlighted: point to one in Adobe Acrobat Reader to see its definition, or click it in any PDF reader to jump to the glossary.
