The Tenant Survival Playbook

The statute, the evidence, and the timeline that turn a withheld deposit into a small-claims judgment.

Why this exists

A landlord with your deposit is a landlord betting you won't fight. Most don't. The ones who do recover their deposit, plus a 2x or 3x penalty, by sending the right letter on the right day. This playbook is the right letter and the right day.

What's in the playbook

Covers your state's security-deposit deadline and penalty multiplier, repair-and-deduct rules, eviction notice requirements, ready-to-send letter templates, phone scripts for landlords and small-claims clerks, and a deadline calendar.
