• A Security Deposit Refund Information Guide and Forms -- Steps to Seek Your Refund from Your Landlord

  Here is an information guide, which has a link to a computer program you can use to create letters for your security deposit issue. The guide is called a "LibGuide" (short for Library Guide or Librarian Guide) because it also can help librarians help other people. The LibGuide has general information plus a link to a computer program a person can use to create letters for your security deposit issue. Read all of the information carefully before you create your form(s). Warning: the program is not legal advice. This program does not take the place of legal advice from competent legal counsel licensed in your state who knows about your legal issue. Try to find help from a lawyer if you can. The Find a Lawyer tab at the top of the page helps you find programs that offer free legal aid to qualified people. Content Detail
