Got an eviction notice? Most tenants never respond, and many lose by default. TenantShield helps you answer, in plain language, and gets your papers ready to file. FREE - Enter the details from your court papers and see your deadline, with a reminder to confirm it with the court clerk. - Answer a few simple questions to see which defenses may apply to you. - Build a private evidence folder: photos, PDFs, short videos and notes, sorted by defense. - Find free legal aid, hotlines and court contacts for your state. 99¢ PER CASE - Your Answer, filled in with your defenses in your words and your exhibit list. - The motions that fit your case: ask for more time or a stay, ask the court to set aside a default judgment, or ask it to dismiss for bad notice or service. - One PDF, ready to sign, file and give to your landlord. TenantShield is a self-help tool, not a law firm, and not legal advice. A lawyer reviewed how TenantShield builds these papers, but no lawyer reviews your case. It never files anything for you. Always confirm your dates with the court clerk, and talk to legal aid if you can. Your case stays on your phone. No account, no tracking, nothing uploaded. Evidence files are encrypted on your device. Currently covers Michigan, California, New York and Texas.
