KeepTheDeposit

KeepTheDeposit helps Texas renters get a security deposit back without handing a cut to a firm.

Texas Property Code Chapter 92 gives landlords until the 30th day after you surrender the unit to refund the deposit or send a written, itemized list of deductions. This app tracks that clock on your phone, checks whether the list looks complete and timely, and — if you unlock the letter pack — builds a demand letter you can print, email, or share.

This is a do-it-yourself tool. KeepTheDeposit is not a law firm, not a lawyer, and not legal advice. A court decides what you recover.

TEXAS ONLY
Residential leases in Texas. Not for other states, commercial leases, evictions, or property-tax protests (that is a different product).

FREE
• 30-day countdown from your move-out / surrender date
• Forwarding-address reminder (Texas does not require the landlord to mail the refund until they have your address in writing)
• Lease, landlord, and deposit details stored on this device
• Deduction checklist that flags late accounting, one-word “cleaning” lines, and charges that may be normal wear and tear — with citations to Chapter 92
• Plain-language explainers of the statute, including the $100 + 3× bad-faith penalty
