FAQ

What can getbackyourdeposit.it do to help me?

At the moment, our services for undeclared rent cases are:

Providing clear and simple information: We sent a personalised guide. We also send timely information and practical advice to be able to protect your rights and prepare the next steps
Personalised messages and letters: We help you prepare documentation, a diffida and formal communications adapted to your case with dynamic templates, in Italian and English
We help you with bureaucracy: We provide a service for sending registered letters (diffida), as well as delivery of complaints if you are abroad
Network of attorneys: When the case is not standard and a lawyer is needed, we have a network of legal partners used to work with us, who can take your case while considering the specific financial situations and needs of students and young professionals

Is it worth it for small amounts?

A simple answer: YES

Because it is fair: You are suffering an abuse, rent fraud is illegal. Even if they are small amounts, you can get it back with no risk and prevent it from happening again in the future
Because it is convenient: Thanks to our platform and our templates, you will spend between 20 minutes and 5 hours. Then, you will get back your 600/1000 Euros. Not bad!

How long it takes and what is the required effort?

Most cases are resolved within 30 days with our tool, as the landlord usually acknowledges the misbehaviour before any formal steps are taken against him, and even faster involving a legal professional!

No need to be present on the territory: the whole process can be followed remotely, even from abroad!

If, on the other hand, you actually end up applying for an injunction, the preparation of the appeal will take you a few hours, the measure should be issued within 10 days, after which it must be returned within 40 days of the filing.

There is no need for an attorney unless the case escalates or you feel the need to be supported
You don't need to be present: the whole process takes place even if you are abroad!
We will help you to keep the right timing and in collecting the necessary documents.

Can I get any trouble?

No, you do not.

The tenant is at no risk. It is easy to prove when the deposit has been withheld and the landlord is in default, and in most cases the landlord will quickly come to his senses.

Otherwise, you can apply for an injunction ('Decreto ingiuntivo') with virtually certain result, the costs of which will be fully reimbursed by the landlord or covered by us.
