Why renters install it

Everything about your rental, in one calm place

Your rights, made plain

Tell it your state and situation, and see the rules and deadlines that apply — in clear language, with the source, and honest about anything not yet confirmed.

A private evidence vault

Time-stamped photos, notes, and messages stay on your device — a clean, trustworthy record if you ever need to show what happened, and when.

Guardian, your assistant

Ask how things generally work where you rent, or have it read your lease — sourced, plain-language information, never a guess, always pointing you to real help.

Letters that land

Turn what's happening into a calm, professional, statute-informed letter — facts and a clear request, never threats. You review every word before it's sent.

Never miss a deadline

Housing timelines move fast. Set a reminder and Renter Shield nudges you early — with time to gather what you need, or get help.

Help, free and first

Facing an eviction, lockout, or unsafe conditions? Legal aid, 211, and crisis resources surface first — always free, never behind a paywall.
