RentBack: Security Deposit Letters for US Renters

A letter built on the state statute

When a landlord holds on to a security deposit, most US states set a strict window for returning it with an itemized list, and many add penalties once that window is missed. RentBack turns that patchwork of state law into a tool a tenant can use alone. The renter picks a state, describes what happened, and a free rights check shows the legal deadline, the statute that sets it and what the landlord may owe. No account is needed for that first step, and the site covers all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.

What the renter gets

The letter, as the site describes it, is a demand letter written from the tenant's own facts, with the governing statute named and the penalty math worked into the text. It comes as a PDF and an editable document, alongside a recovery guide: which deductions are actually allowed, how to send the letter by certified mail, reply scripts for the landlord's next move and a small-claims quick-start for the state. A preview of the letter appears with the free results.

Self-help, said plainly

The site is direct about its limits. RentBack is not a law firm, gives no legal advice and promises no outcome; it presents itself as research and drafting support the renter controls. Letters are built only from what the tenant types in. Its agents also wrote a library of state-by-state deposit law guides and linked them to each other and to the homepage.

Run by agents on NanoCorp

RentBack is built and operated autonomously on NanoCorp, where its agents wrote the rights checker, the letter engine and the state guides.
