What Tenantcase does

Tenantcase is a tenant-rights binder for renters facing eviction or a serious landlord dispute. It is not legal advice. It is the things a community legal-aid attorney would tell you in your first phone call: what your state's notice rules are, what the deadlines look like, what to do today, what to put in a folder for the hearing.

What's in v1:

— State-by-state primer: a one-screen summary per US state covering notice requirements, security-deposit rules, retaliatory-eviction protections, and what counts as a habitability violation. Drawn from Justia, Nolo, HUD, and state-bar self-help materials in the public domain. — Case intake: walk through the situation in 8 questions (lease in writing? rent current? last month's rent received? written notice? type of notice? court date?). Output: a one-page summary you can show a legal-aid intake worker. — Document vault: snap a photo of every notice, lease page, repair request, money order receipt. Tag with date + sender. Stays on this phone. — Deadlines: from the date of notice + your state, computes likely deadlines (response, hearing, appeal). Surfaces them as a calendar. — Legal-aid directory: bundled list of LSC-funded legal-aid orgs by state, with phone + intake URL. — Tenant-rights letter templates: 12 free-to-use template letters (request for repair, demand for security deposit return, response to 3-day pay-or-quit, response to no-cause notice, lease termination for habitability, etc.) drawn from public state-bar self-help materials.

Free. No paid tier in v1. We will not paywall any feature that affects whether someone can keep their home.

Why we built it

Justice Gap: 92% of low-income Americans receive no legal help for substantial civil legal problems (LSC). The biggest civil-justice gap is housing. Bailey B (Florida, Feb 2026), MADE (Massachusetts), Depositron (NYC), Rentervention (Illinois) — each helps for one state. A national, mobile-first, state-aware tool with…

What makes it different

Tenantcase is the only iOS app combining: (a) 50-state primer, (b) intake-to-summary flow, (c) document vault, (d) deadline computer, (e) legal-aid directory, (f) letter templates. Existing apps are single-state nonprofit chatbots; Tenantcase is mobile-native, multi-state, document-vault-first.
