TenantGuard · Private tenant documentation
Keep your home.
Keep the record.
Most evictions start small — an ignored repair, a verbal promise, a missed message. TenantGuard helps you document everything early, privately, so you can get help before you lose your housing.

When the record matters most
Built for the moments that put your housing at risk.
Ignored repairs
The problem: Texts about no heat or a leak go unanswered for days or weeks.
With TenantGuard: A logged written-notice date so you can track repair timelines under RCW 59.18.070, plus a free repair request letter.
Possible retaliation
The problem: You report a problem, then suddenly get a rent hike or notice to vacate.
With TenantGuard: A dated timeline showing when you complained and what happened after — to review with legal aid (RCW 59.18.240).
Eviction or pay-or-vacate notice
The problem: A 14-day notice or summons arrives and you have days to respond — with records scattered everywhere.
With TenantGuard: One organized, dated packet ready to bring to legal aid or a court-appointed attorney right away.
Verbal promises & payment plans
The problem: “The manager agreed I could pay late” — now there's a notice and no proof.
With TenantGuard: Meeting notes with captured acknowledgments, or a logged refusal to sign.
Deposits & move-out charges
The problem: Unfair charges can follow you and make your next rental harder to get.
With TenantGuard: Move-in vs. move-out photos and a free deposit demand letter citing RCW 59.18.280.
Deadlines and remedies depend on your state, lease and facts. TenantGuard helps you document; it does not decide outcomes. Verify current law with qualified legal help.
Evidence vs. memory
A record, not a recollection.
The facts don't change. How clearly you can present them does. Put each event in context, with the records that support it.

Encrypted connections and private evidence storage. Your account controls access to your case files.
No landlord alerts
No automatic notifications to your landlord or property manager. You decide when to share an exported report.
No sale to screening databases
We do not sell personal data or provide case files to tenant screening databases. Service providers process data to operate TenantGuard; legal obligations may require disclosure.
Privacy is not a guarantee against retaliation. If you face threats or an eviction deadline, seek qualified legal help promptly.
Locally grounded. Transparently referenced.
Built by a renter.
Rooted in Spokane.
Jessica Watkins built TenantGuard after experiencing a rental dispute without a reliable written record. Her goal: help renters catch problems early and walk into legal aid with a clear record — before a dispute becomes an eviction or a family loses its home.
Designed to support conversations with legal aid and tenant advocates. No court, government agency or legal-aid organization endorsement is implied.
Washington references link to the legislature's published text—not an invented summary or a promise about your case.
Reference labels only, not statutory interpretation. Requirements vary by location and circumstance. Verify current law and deadlines with qualified legal help.
