About QuickDemand
QuickDemand: state-aligned security deposit letters for U.S. renters — pre-move notices, deadline reminders, refund demands, deduction disputes. Not legal advice.
If you are on the fence, this page is the boring stuff: who the tool is for, how money works, and what we will not pretend to do for you.
At a glance
States
Guides for all 50
Each state has its own writeup on return timing and what a demand letter usually needs. The builder asks for your ZIP so the draft matches the place you rented.
Tone
Calm and dated
The templates read like a normal business letter: dates, amounts, and a clear ask. Nothing here sends threats for you or pings the landlord on your behalf.
Money
Pay for the file
You can read the whole draft on screen for free. Buying is only for the PDF of that run. There is no subscription or monthly fee hiding in the corner.
What you are actually using
QuickDemand is a self-serve security deposit letter generator for U.S. renters, aligned to each state’s deposit-return statute. Most deposit fights boil down to the same few facts: when you left, how much was held, whether you got an itemized list on time, and whether the charges match what you documented. QuickDemand walks you through those fields and drops them into a clean layout you can email, print, or mail with tracking if that is how your state prefers notice.
Keep your photos, forwarding address proof, and any moveout checklist next to the letter. The PDF is only as good as the facts you type in.
Why bother with a letter
Property managers juggle a lot of moveouts at once. A single dated note with the amount you think is wrong, plus a reply date, is easier to forward upstairs than a string of texts. It also gives you a file name and a timestamp if you later need a tenant hotline, mediation, or small claims. QuickDemand exists because that habit still works even when nobody wants to hire a lawyer for a $900 deposit.
Pick a hub
Most people start in one of these three spots, then jump into the builder when they are ready.
Letter types
Five setups: pre-move notice, deadline nudge, refund ask, pushback on line items, and firmer dispute wording when you need it.
State guides
One page per state with return windows, statute notes, and examples so you can sanity check dates before you send anything.
Renter guides
Longer reads on demand letters, wear and tear, move-out photos, and how return laws tend to work in practice.
Where we stop
We do not negotiate with your landlord, file your case, or guess how a judge would rule. We also do not know your local notice rules better than you and your clerk's office. Read the Terms of Service and Refund Policy before you pay so you know what you are agreeing to.
Questions we get a lot
Is QuickDemand a law firm?
No. We are a small software product, not a firm, and nobody here represents you in front of a court or a housing agency. You fill in the facts, you read the draft, and you decide how to send it.
Is this legal advice?
No. The site is general information plus a template you control. It is not tailored advice for your case, and using the site does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need someone to sign off on strategy, talk to a lawyer licensed where you live.
Do you cover every state?
There is a deposit demand guide for each of the 50 states. The builder asks for your rental ZIP and move dates so the wording lines up with where you rented. You should still read your lease and double check anything that sounds off.
Do I pay before I can read the letter?
No. You can scroll the full draft in the browser first. Checkout is only for the download. The price you see in the builder is the one that applies to that letter type and deposit range.
What letters can I make?
Mostly deposit paperwork renters actually send: notices before move-out, reminders when a deadline is slipping, refund requests, and replies when the itemized list looks wrong. The letter types page spells out who each one is for.
Who do I email if checkout breaks?
support@quickdemand.app. Send the address you used to pay and a one line description of what failed. Refunds and eligibility are spelled out in the Refund Policy. Site rules live in the Terms of Service.
For broken downloads or billing weirdness: support@quickdemand.app. Paste the receipt email and what you already tried. We read everything, just not instantly on weekends.
