Return a security deposit the right way

Miss the deadline or skip the itemized statement and Texas can make you pay the tenant up to three times what you wrongfully withheld, plus their attorney's fees. This free tool gives you the deadline, what you can deduct, and a ready-to-send itemized letter, each step tied to the Texas statute.

Free. No sign-up, no lease upload. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

Answer a few questions

Your move-out dates, the deposit, and any deductions. Plain language, no jargon.

Get your deadline and the rules

The exact date to return it, what you can and can't deduct, and your penalty exposure.

Generate the letter

A compliant, itemized return letter you can print or save as a PDF and mail.

Why landlords use it

§ Tied to the statute

Every rule shows the exact Texas Property Code citation and the date we last verified it. You can read the law yourself.

Built for the real cases

Joint tenants, pet deposits, the forwarding-address timing, the wear-and-tear line, and the bad-faith penalties, handled correctly.

Private by design

The math and the letter run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored anywhere.

Choose your state

We add a state only once its rules are verified against the primary statute.
