The Problem: Your Deposit Is Stuck in Limbo
Sound Familiar?
You've moved out, cleaned the property, and handed back the keys. But weeks have passed and your deposit hasn't appeared. Your landlord or letting agent has gone quiet, or they've made vague deductions without proper explanation.
You're frustrated, uncertain about what to say, and worried about sounding too aggressive or too weak. The longer this drags on, the more stressful it becomes.
No Response
Messages and calls go unanswered after you've moved out
Vague Deductions
Money taken without clear explanation or evidence
Endless Delays
"We'll get back to you" becomes weeks of waiting

How It Works: Three Simple Steps
01
Fill in Your Details
Add your tenancy information: property address, deposit amount, move-out date, and the deadline you're setting for a response. Takes just minutes.
02
Send to Your Landlord or Agent
Email or post the letter directly to the person or company holding your deposit. Keep a copy for your records.
03
Create Your Paper Trail
A written demand shows you're serious and gives you evidence if you need to escalate through formal channels later.
Why a Written Demand Works
Creates a Paper Trail
Written complaints establish a clear record of your attempts to resolve the issue, which can be crucial if you need to escalate.
Signals You're Serious
Professional wording shows you understand your rights and won't simply give up or accept delays indefinitely.
Sets Clear Deadlines
Specific timeframes reduce endless "we'll get back to you" responses and move the conversation forward.

Important: This template doesn't guarantee a refund, but it helps you communicate clearly and confidently. Most deposit disputes are resolved through clear communication rather than legal action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal advice?
No, this is a practical template to help you communicate effectively. It's not legal advice and doesn't replace speaking to a solicitor if your situation becomes complex or heads to court.
Can I use this with a letting agent as well as a landlord?
Yes, absolutely. The template works for both landlords and letting agents. Simply address it to whoever is holding or managing your deposit.
What if they ignore my letter?
If there's no response after your deadline, you can send the optional 'final notice' version included in the template, or escalate through the tenancy deposit protection scheme or alternative dispute resolution.
Does this work if they've made partial deductions?
Yes. You can use the template to challenge unfair or unexplained deductions and request a full breakdown with evidence.
Can I send it by email instead of post?
Yes. Email is often faster and creates an automatic record. We include suggested subject lines to help ensure your message gets opened and read.
How quickly do I get access after paying?
Instantly. Once you complete checkout, you'll receive immediate access to download the template and start using it straight away.
