How It Works

01

Upload Your Lease

Drop your lease PDF. Our AI extracts everything — landlord name, deposit amount, lease dates. No forms to fill out.

02

We Build Your Case

AI identifies every violation of NY law, assembles a demand letter with evidence appendices, and gives you a complete case file.

03

Send & Get Paid

One click sends your demand letter. We chase your landlord with 10+ payment reminders over 6 weeks. You get paid, minus our $249 fee.

Why Setld Works

NYC law is on your side

HSTPA 2019 gives landlords only 14 days to return your deposit with an itemized statement. Miss the deadline? They forfeit the right to keep any of it.

We don’t stop at a letter

Competitors send one letter and quit. We send 10+ automated payment reminders, escalate to certified mail, and give you a free small claims court filing kit.

Free until you win

No upfront fees. No subscription. $249 flat fee deducted only when your landlord pays. If they don’t pay, you owe us nothing.
