The Increase Arrived With No Explanation. Build the Comparison

LIMIT FIRST: This is a documentation aid for a tenant or applicant, not legal advice. It cannot block an eviction, compel a repair, or guarantee a screening outcome.

Cost and free path

Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.

Rule status (mixed route): Status, 2026-10-03: New York's algorithmic rent-setting ban is stayed pending litigation after the 2026-09-30 injunction; local notice and increase rules vary and are the operative law for most tenants.

Automated decision this documents: algorithmic rent recommendation applied to a renewal

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. Your city or county tenant services office (free advice and local rule checks)
  2. A local fair-housing or tenants' organisation
  3. LawHelp.org for free legal aid on a rent or notice dispute

What this cannot do: It cannot block an eviction, compel a repair, or guarantee a screening outcome.

BASIS / NOT A VERDICT

This tool reduces uncertainty; it does not replace a bank's fraud department, a mental-health professional, legal advice, a school privacy contact, or qualified technical help, and it cannot prove that a call, message, account, decision, or AI system is safe.
