Your landlord has 14–30 days to return your deposit. Most don't, and they bank on you not fighting back. Clawback tells you in 60 seconds whether your landlord broke your state's law, then generates a legally-cited demand letter ready to send. Covers all 50 states with real statute references. One-time $29. No subscription. 7-day money-back guarantee. The average wrongful-withholding recovery is 2–3x the deposit.
Legal, Productivity, SaaS, Personal Finance Hey everyone

The problem I kept running into: security deposit theft is one of the most common and least-fought forms of small-scale fraud in the US. Landlords hold billions in deposits every year, and most renters eat the loss because small claims court is intimidating and a lawyer costs more than the deposit itself.
But every state has laws. Most require return within 14–30 days, itemized deductions, and allow 2 to 3x damages if the landlord violates the statute. Most renters never know this and landlords bank on that.
Clawback does three things:
1. Runs your situation against all 50 state statutes in 60 seconds (free) 2. Generates a demand letter citing the exact laws your landlord broke 3. Walks you through small claims if the letter doesn't get a response
$29 one-time. No subscription. 7 day money-back guarantee.
I spent 20 years as a software architect before building this, and the thing I'm proudest of is the 50-state law engine every citation in every letter traces back to an actual statute, not a template. If you're a lawyer or have been through this yourself, I'd love your feedback on edge cases I might've missed.
And if you know someone currently fighting their landlord, send them the free check. Costs nothing to see if they have a case.
