You Don't Need a Lawyer to Get Your Deposit Back — Immani

Lets You File a Dispute Against Your Landlord's Phone Number for KSh 100

You've paid your deposit, moved out, and now your landlord is refusing to refund it. They might be claiming damages or disputing the condition of the property. But you know you left it in good condition, and you deserve your deposit back. The police might tell you it's a civil matter, but that doesn't mean you need a lawyer to get your deposit back.

Why This Happens

In Kenya, landlords often take advantage of tenants by withholding deposits or claiming damages without basis. They might be counting on you not knowing your rights or not wanting to go through the hassle of a court case. But you don't need a lawyer to fight for your rights. Immani's dispute resolution platform is designed to help you resolve disputes quickly and easily.

How Immani Works in This Specific Context

Immani lets you file a dispute against your landlord's phone number for KSh 100. You'll need to describe the issue and provide evidence, such as photos or receipts. Once you've filed the dispute, your landlord will be notified, and they'll have a short private window to respond and engage with you directly. If they don't respond, the dispute will become visible to anyone who looks up their phone number on Immani, which often prompts a response. You can then work together to resolve the dispute and get your deposit back.
