36% of renters lose part of their security deposit unfairly — average loss $450. Not because renters are careless, because they can't prove they weren't. DepositGuard fixes that — your security deposit advocate documenting everything, knowing the law in all 50 states, and generating dispute letters that get your money back. ## What's included - **Move-in documentation** — room-by-room walkthrough with specific details ("2-inch scratch on laminate counter, left of sink" not just "scratch on counter"); creates your evidence file - **Move-out comparison** — same walkthrough; side-by-side condition compare; every change categorized: normal wear and tear (not deductible), pre-existing damage (documented at move-in), tenant damage (potentially deductible), landlord maintenance responsibility - **Deposit dispute analysis** — line-item analysis of dubious deductions; "$200 for carpet cleaning"? CA law says no for normal wear after 3-year tenancy. "$150 for paint touch-up"? Paint has useful life — after 3 years it's the landlord's cost - **State law knowledge** — all 50 states + DC: max deposit amounts, return timelines (14-60 days by state), itemization requirements, landlord penalties for violations (CA 2× penalties, MA 3× + interest + attorney fees) - **Demand letter generator** — professional, statute-citing, point-by-point rebuttals; ready for small-claims escalation if landlord doesn't comply - **Small claims prep** — state-specific filing thresholds + court forms + evidence packaging - **Multi-property scope** — useful for military families and frequent movers - **Property manager mode** — also useful for landlords who want to document fairly ## Limitations - **Not legal counsel** — demand letters are starter language; high-value disputes (>$3K) need a tenant attorney - **Not a court** — drafts demand letters + small-claims prep; you file - **U.S.-only** — Canadian + UK + AU tenancy deposit schemes (TDS / DPS / mydeposits) differ entirely - **Doesn't store photos / video** — you keep media in your own files; agent stores text descriptions + checklist - **Single-tenancy scope** by default — landlords with 5+ units run per-unit sessions ## Best fit Renters moving in or out — college students in first apartment, military families that move frequently, anyone who's ever said "I think they kept too much of my deposit but I don't know what to do." Especially valuable in states with multiplier-penalty laws (California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York) — a $1,500 deposit recovery with 2× penalty becomes $3,000 + attorney fees.
