Security deposit demand letter packets
Security Deposit Demand Packets helps renters turn deposit-return disputes into a clear mailed packet with a demand letter, deposit facts summary, exhibit index, and optional evidence. PostalForm generates the review PDF first, then prepares Certified Mail so the sender has a mailing record.
PostalForm is not affiliated with Landlords and property managers.

FAQs+
Can I attach photos, the lease, or landlord messages?
Yes. Upload PDFs or images and PostalForm appends them behind the generated letter, facts summary, and exhibit index.
Can I mail the packet to more than one recipient?
Yes. You can send the packet to the landlord and optionally add a property manager or registered agent when you have those mailing details.
Is this legal advice?
No. PostalForm creates and mails a self-help packet from the facts you provide. Review the packet and confirm current state or local rules before mailing.
