Security deposit non-return, unrepaired habitability defects, illegal lockouts, lease break fees, and defective eviction notices — we draft a letter citing your state's habitability and security-deposit statute, and track escalation through your state Attorney General and local housing court until the issue resolves.
Landlord failed to itemize deductions, missed the 30-day return window, or kept the deposit after a no-fault eviction.
Cite your state's security-deposit statute (e.g. CA Civ. Code § 1950.5; NY GOL § 711-714) — small-claims + treble damages available.
No heat, mold, vermin, plumbing failure, or landlord refuses to enter; tenant-rent-withholding only after a written repair demand.
Cite the implied warranty of habitability + your state's housing code (HQS / city health ordinances).
Landlord changed the locks during a dispute, cut utilities, or removed tenant's belongings outside an eviction order.
Cite your state's self-help eviction ban (lockouts are illegal absent a court order; sheriff-only enforcement).
Landlord charges an inflated penalty for breaking a lease, or refuses to mitigate by re-renting the unit.
Cite your state's duty-to-mitigate doctrine (most states require reasonable re-rental efforts within 30 days).
3-day pay-or-quit or 30-day notice doesn't name the right unit, doesn't state the grounds, or skips the cure period.
Cite your state's notice statute (e.g. CA CCP § 1161; NY RPAPL § 711-735) — defects void the notice.
