About

We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. This tool helps you format a letter using the facts you provide. For advice about your situation, contact a licensed attorney or your local legal aid organization.

Demand Letter Builder is a formatting tool for two kinds of letters used by people in the United States: a letter asking someone to pay before a small claims case, and a letter asking a landlord to return a security deposit. You type the names, dates, amounts, and what happened. The preview is free and watermarked. A clean copy is a paid download.

Statute notes on the state pages were read from the official sources linked on each fact, and each fact shows the date that reading happened. Those notes are not generated by the drafting model. If a state is not listed, we have not published a checked note for it. The letter tool can still format a letter, and the legal section is supposed to say “[check your state law]” instead of inventing a rule.

The site does not file cases, send mail, hold your letter, or tell you whether a claim is worth filing. You must be 18 or older to use the paid download. The letters are meant for use in the United States.
