90% of NYC Landlords Have Lawyers. Now You Have TenantGuard.
The Problem: Landlords issue defective notices with illegal fees and withhold deposits, knowing tenants can't afford legal counsel.
The Solution: Instant statutory defect detection under the 2019 HSTPA, 2x punitive damages calculation, and court-ready defense letters.
Defend Your NYC Home Against Defective Notices
NY RPAPL § 711 strictly requires 14 calendar days written notice. Spot defects instantly.
Two Weapons Against Bad-Faith Landlords
Deterministic statutory math backed by official New York State statutes.
Eviction Notice Defect Shield
Did your landlord give you a 3-day notice, slap on a $150 late fee, or text you to move out? That is illegal in New York. We spot procedural defects and generate a formal answer to stop summary proceedings.
- Checks mandatory 14 calendar day cure window
- Flags late fees exceeding $50 or 5% cap (RPL § 238-a)
- Identifies invalid non-rent additions to demands
Security Deposit 2x Forfeiture Engine
Moved out and your landlord hasn't sent an itemized receipt within 14 days? Under NY law, they forfeit 100% of the deposit and owe up to 2x statutory punitive damages in NYC Small Claims Court.
- Automatic forfeiture calculation after 14 calendar days
- 2x statutory punitive damages multiplier
- Generates official Pre-Action Demand & Small Claims Kit
