MyTenantCase.org

MyTenantCase.org is a free-to-use online tool. It helps you organize your legal tenant matters, gathers the information an attorney asks for, helps you find attorneys, law firms and tenant organizations near you, and prepares a clean summary to share with your attorney. No attorney reviews it for you through our website. The information here is not legal advice. If you are in danger right now, call 911.

This page loads no trackers and no outside code. Your notes, photos, and lease live only in this browser on this device — clearing your browser data deletes them permanently, and opening the page on another device will not show them.

Please do NOT share sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, other government identification numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, medical records. This is not necessary to create a Case File. An attorney will ask you for anything of that kind directly if necessary.

Tell us about your landlord-tenant issue. Leave with a Case File to share with an attorney.

Share your story—eviction, maintenance, security deposit issues, harassment, illegal entry, and more. We’ll pull out the dates, organize them into a timeline, build a printable Case File, and find legal help near you.

      Where to find legal help

      Select a state or territory to see the organizations near you.

      Laws that may apply — a lawyer can tell you which ones fit your situation

      General information only — not legal advice. Your city or county rules can add more protections, and courts read these laws in ways the words alone do not show. Even when a statute looks clear, have an attorney or a law firm look at your case before you act on it — that is what this Case File is for.
