Is Your Landlord Going to Return Your Deposit?
We track how landlords respond to demand letters — who returns deposits, who ignores them, and how much tenants actually recovered. Search by name or property management company.
Real tenants. Real demand letters. Real outcomes.
This data comes from real DepositHawk users who sent demand letters to their landlords. We track whether the landlord responded, how much they returned, and how the dispute resolved. No individual disputes are ever shown — only aggregate patterns across landlords.
Ratings only appear for landlords with two or more recorded disputes. Tenant names are never disclosed. If you've had a dispute with a landlord and used DepositHawk to resolve it, your outcome automatically contributes to their aggregate record — not your personal one.

No data yet — but it's coming.
We're just getting started. As DepositHawk users report dispute outcomes, landlord data will appear here automatically. Every demand letter sent and outcome reported builds this database for the next tenant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this data come from?
Every data point comes from a real DepositHawk user who sent a demand letter to their landlord and later reported the outcome. No data is estimated or fabricated — it is 100% user-reported.
Can I add my landlord to this database?
Yes, automatically. When you use DepositHawk to send a demand letter and then report the outcome of your dispute, your landlord's aggregate record is updated. You never appear by name — only the landlord does.
Is publishing this data legal?
Yes. We publish aggregate, anonymized data about landlord behavior in response to demand letters. No tenant information is ever disclosed. Aggregate dispute data is public-interest information protected under the First Amendment.
What does recovery rate mean?
Recovery rate is the percentage of resolved disputes (non-pending outcomes) where the tenant recovered some or all of their deposit. A landlord with a 75% recovery rate returned deposits fully or partially in 75 out of every 100 resolved cases. Rates are only shown when a landlord has at least 3 resolved disputes.
What does response rate mean?
Response rate is the percentage of disputes that reached any outcome — whether the landlord returned the deposit, refused, or the case went to court. A low response rate means disputes are still pending, which may indicate the landlord is unresponsive to demand letters.
