Request for Security Deposit
About this resource
This tool helps Louisiana tenants formally request the return of their security deposit after moving out of a rental property. The guided experience helps you create a legally compliant written demand that puts your landlord on notice of their obligation to return the deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions. If the landlord does not respond within the time required by law, the letter can be used as documentation of your request. You should only use this tool if you gave your landlord proper notice before moving out.
