Connecticut law requires landlords to return your security deposit within 30 days — or pay you double. Tribune handles the legal correspondence. You pay nothing unless we recover your money.
Answer a few questions about your lease, your landlord, and your deposit. It takes about 10 minutes.
Tribune prepares professional demand letters citing Connecticut law. You review each one before sending.
Most landlords respond within two weeks. If they don't, we escalate. You only pay if we recover your deposit.
Under Connecticut General Statutes Section 47a-21, your landlord must return your security deposit within 30 days of the end of your tenancy. No exceptions.
If your landlord fails to comply, you may be entitled to double the amount of your deposit that was wrongfully withheld.
If your landlord makes any deductions, they must provide a written, itemized list of damages and their costs. Vague claims like "cleaning" or "wear and tear" without specifics may not hold up.
Your landlord is also required to pay interest on your security deposit for the duration of your tenancy.
It takes about 10 minutes to start your case. You pay nothing unless we recover your money.
