A Too Common Situation

Marie, 28, had just left her apartment after 2 years of renting. The exit inventory went well, no damage had been noted. Yet, 3 months later, still no deposit.

Her landlord was no longer replying to messages. Email follow-ups remained unanswered. Marie was starting to resign herself.

"I didn't know what to do. Hiring a lawyer for €800 didn't make economic sense."

Discovering TheLawGPT

While searching online for "recover deposit landlord not replying", Marie discovered TheLawGPT. Skeptical at first, she decided to try the free tool.

The Steps Taken

1. Understanding Her Rights

Marie first asked a simple question: "My landlord refuses to return my deposit, what are my rights?"

TheLawGPT explained that according to the law, the landlord has a maximum of 1 month to return the security deposit after a compliant inventory.

2. Generating a Formal Demand

In a few clicks, Marie created a proper formal demand, citing:

The applicable law article
The legal deadline exceeded
The sum due with late interest
A deadline of 8 days for regularization

3. Sending by Registered Mail

Marie sent the letter by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt. Total cost: less than €10.

The Result

7 days later, Marie received a transfer of €800 accompanied by an apology email.

"I couldn't believe it. In 3 months of polite follow-ups, I had obtained nothing. A single well-written legal letter was enough."

TheLawGPT exists to democratize this access to law. Because justice should not be reserved for those who can afford a jurist.
