Get Your Deposit Back
AI-powered dispute letters grounded in UK law. Most tenants are owed more than they think.
The burden of proof is on your landlord, not you. A well-written letter wins more often than you'd expect.
Your Landlord Is Keeping Your Money
The average tenant deposit in England is £1,175. Landlords routinely make unfair deductions for "cleaning", "damage", and "redecoration" — but the law is on your side.
The burden of proof is on the landlord, not you. They must prove every single deduction is reasonable, evidenced, and doesn't amount to betterment. Most can't.
A well-written dispute letter citing the right legislation wins more often than you'd think. That's exactly what DepositShield creates for you.
