Every tool a renter needs — in one calm app
Renter Shield brings your rights, your evidence, and your words together — so you can act with calm confidence instead of fear. Free for every renter; advanced tools optional.
Your rights, made plain
Tell Renter Shield your state and what's going on, and see the rules and deadlines that may apply to your situation — in clear language, with the source behind every figure so you can verify it for yourself.
- ✓Rights and deadlines organized by state — all 50 states + DC.
- ✓Plain-language explanations, with a link to the official source.
- ✓Honest about limits — when a figure isn't confirmed for your area, it says so and points you to verify.
An AI that helps you write like a pro
Guardian turns what's happening into a calm, professional, statute-citing letter — facts and a clear request, never threats. Choose a tone and edit every word before it goes out.
- ✓Pick a tone — Cooperative to keep things friendly, or Firm when you need to be direct.
- ✓States the facts and your request — calm and on the record, never combative.
- ✓You're always the author — review and edit before sending.
Dear [Landlord], I moved out of [address] on [date] and left the unit clean. I'm writing to request the return of my $[amount] security deposit, along with an itemized statement of any deductions. Please send it to [address] at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your help.
You review and edit every word before it's sent.
An Evidence Vault that holds up
Save dated notes, photos, and messages on your own device — building a clean, timestamped record you can rely on. It's local-first and private by design, so your evidence stays with you.
- ✓Local-first — your evidence is stored on your device, not on a server.
- ✓Dated and organized into a clear, easy-to-follow timeline.
- ✓Private by design — you decide what to keep and what to share.
Never miss a deadline that matters
Housing timelines move fast. Set a reminder and Renter Shield nudges you to act early — with enough time to gather what you need or get help before the clock runs out.
- ✓Track the deadlines tied to your situation in one place.
- ✓Gentle, early nudges so nothing sneaks up on you.
- ✓Time to act calmly — or reach legal aid — before a window closes.
Sub-tenant & roommate tools
Subletting or splitting rent? Keep it clear, fair, and documented for everyone. Track who's paid, keep a clean payment history, and generate a plain-language sub-lease agreement.
- ✓Track each person's rent and keep a clean payment history.
- ✓Generate a clear sub-lease agreement to keep shared living simple.
- ✓Included in Level 2 and Level 3 — with everything in the lower levels.

Resources & escalation, free and first
When a situation is urgent — an eviction notice, a lockout, unsafe conditions, or danger — Renter Shield surfaces free legal aid and crisis resources first, before any tool. They're always free and never behind a paywall.
- ✓Emergency resources surface first when it's urgent — never paywalled.
- ✓211 for local help, lawhelp.org for free legal aid, 911 in an emergency.
- ✓You never need Renter Shield to reach help — these are always free.
