Why This Is Not Your Exact Result
This checklist is preventive, not diagnostic. It will not tell you what you are owed or generate a demand letter.
Choose a state first so we can load the state-specific timeline, forwarding-address notes, and next steps.
Exact Case Review
Use the questionnaire for the exact fact pattern.
The questionnaire remains the exact-analysis path for deduction legality, recovery amount, and next-step guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this checklist replace the questionnaire?
No. The checklist is preventive. It does not evaluate deduction legality, recovery amount, or whether you qualify for any penalty.
Can I use this before I move out?
Yes. That is the main purpose. Use it before notice, on move-out day, and while you wait for the deposit return.
Can I email myself a printable copy?
Yes. The email option is optional and does not block access to the checklist on the page.
