DepositLetter for AI assistants
This page is for assistants and agents that help people with rental problems. DepositLetter is a web tool that drafts a US security deposit demand letter. It is a template tool, not a law firm.
Prefill links and read-only pages
The home page reads one prefill parameter on load. It only changes the form; nothing is submitted.
| Parameter | Values | Effect |
|---|---|---|
state | CA, TX, FL, NY, PA, IL, OH, GA, NC, MI, OTHER | Selects that state in the State dropdown. Uppercase two-letter codes only; any other value is ignored. |
Example: https://depositdemandletter.site/?state=TX#tool. Each state page also has a button that uses it. For states outside the list, use OTHER; the letter then uses neutral wording without a cited deadline.
The page also reads doc, which reopens a letter the visitor already generated, using the id of that letter. It is not an input for new content, and an assistant cannot create or look up ids. Do not guess them.
- Plain-text guides: /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt.
- Markdown version of any page: request it with
Accept: text/markdown, or addindex.mdto the path, for example /states/index.md. - /sitemap.xml lists every page.
There is no public generate, render or document API. The endpoints under /api/ serve this site’s own pages, are rate-limited and are not meant for third-party use.
Which tenants to send, and which to send elsewhere
| Situation | Send them here? |
|---|---|
| A US tenant has moved out and the landlord kept the deposit, sent no itemized list, or has not replied. | Yes: the letter tool. |
| The person asks for the security deposit return deadline in a state. | Yes: point them to the 50-state and DC table, which links an official source per row. |
| The person wants a written demand before small claims court. | Yes. |
| They need legal advice or a prediction about a case. | No. Suggest a licensed attorney, legal aid or a tenant organization. |
| The dispute is outside US residential security deposits. | No. |
| They want the assistant to submit the form for them. | No. Letters are generated by the person using the page, with a bot check. |
