"Honestly, I had given up. Seven months of WhatsApp had gone nowhere. Two weeks after the notice went out, the full amount hit my account. Should have done this earlier."
Rental security deposit recovery in India —
Stop chasing.
Start recovering.
Your landlord is sitting on your security deposit. We get a registered advocate to send a formal legal notice — the one piece of paper that usually settles it for good.
Landlords bank on you giving up.
Deposit disputes are the most common problem in Indian renting — and the most under-reported. The playbook is always the same, and it's designed to exhaust you into walking away.
Three steps. One clear outcome.
You share the details once. From that point on, a dedicated case manager and a registered advocate do the heavy lifting — you just wait for the update.
Share your case
Tell us the basics — city, deposit amount, and what's going on. Two minutes, no documents needed yet.
Free consultation call
We call within a working day. Honest assessment of your case in plain English — what works, what doesn't, what it'd cost.
Notice dispatched by an advocate
A registered advocate drafts and delivers the notice by registered post and email. That one letter ends most disputes.
Written off. Then refunded.
"The advocate drafted the notice the same evening I called. My landlord phoned me himself a week later — apologetic — and transferred everything without another word."
"There were made-up damages and a ridiculous painting bill. Once the notice arrived, all the 'deductions' quietly vanished and the full deposit came back in 9 days."
No recovery. No fee.
We only make money when you do. A fixed percentage is agreed with you on the first call, and it's billed only after the deposit actually lands in your bank account.
Agreed on the first call.
Paid only if you win.
Everything is written down before anything is sent. No fine print, no extra invoices later.

Is DepositWapas a law firm itself?
No. We're a service layer on top of a registered partner law firm. All notices, drafts, and legal communication are issued by qualified advocates — we handle the intake, coordination, and support so you have one clear point of contact.
What if my landlord simply ignores the notice?
It's uncommon — around 9 out of 10 landlords respond or pay once a formal notice lands. In the rare cases where they don't, the same advocate can take it forward to the Rent Control authority or consumer forum, and we'll walk you through that call transparently.
I never signed a written rent agreement. Am I out of options?
Not at all. Rent transfers via UPI or bank, utility bills in your name, building entry records, WhatsApp chats, and even Swiggy/Zomato delivery history can establish tenancy. We'll figure out what's workable on the free call.
What exactly does it cost me?
Zero rupees upfront. Our fee is a fixed, small percentage of the amount actually recovered — agreed with you in writing before any notice is sent. If nothing comes back, you owe nothing.
Which cities are you currently active in?
We actively handle cases in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai. If you're anywhere else in India, please still fill the form — our partner firm has pan-India reach and we'll tell you honestly if we can help.
How quickly will I see any movement?
You'll hear from us within one working day. The notice is usually drafted and dispatched within 48–72 hours of you signing off on it. Most deposits are refunded in 2–3 weeks from that point.
