Three steps. One email they can't ignore.
Upload the evidence
Lease, move-in and move-out photos, and the deduction statement. Phone photos are fine.
We find the leverage
Every line item gets a statute next to it. If they have a receipt, we already know about it. If they don't, the email makes that their problem.

Chapter and verse, with the deadline count and the statutory penalty beside each charge. Most landlords fold the moment they read it. The ones who don't find out what 2× in CA, 2× willful in NY, or 3× plus $100 plus fees in TX actually costs them.
Short window. Every state.
California gives landlords 21 days. New York, 14. Texas, 30. Your landlord has a statutory deadline to return the deposit or send an itemized statement. Miss the window, lose the right to withhold. No exceptions.
They billed the bathroom. You owe them the tile.
Most landlord deductions don't survive the math. We don't tell you to ignore the charge. We show you what an honest number looks like, and let the delta between their number and ours do the pushing.
- One cracked tile at the threshold
- No receipt. Contractor quote only
- Full-replacement number
- Tile replacement: $4 to $8
- Brooklyn tile-work labor: $150 to $250
- Actual cost of the actual damage
Aging finishes, routine scuffs, ordinary tile shift from settlement. Every state excludes normal wear from deposit deductions. Bright-line rule.
Statutes in all three states put the burden of justifying the cost on the landlord. A quote for unperformed work is not a cost they incurred, and no one has to pay it.
Damage to one item is not grounds to bill for the whole thing. Restoration is the legal measure, not improvement. One cracked tile is a tile job, not a bathroom.
