No. Honestkey provides informational analysis and education about your lease, but we're not a law firm and don't provide legal advice. For complex legal disputes, court representation, or situations involving significant money, consult a licensed attorney.
Consider a lawyer for: active legal disputes with your landlord, eviction proceedings, complex lease negotiations for commercial properties, situations involving discrimination claims, or when significant money is at stake (typically $10,000+).
Absolutely. You can scan your lease with Honestkey first to understand the issues, then bring specific concerns to an attorney. This can reduce legal costs by helping you come prepared with specific questions.
They do different jobs. Honestkey checks your lease against your state's landlord-tenant law, names the statute behind each violation it flags, and checks each flagged violation a second time against that statute. A lawyer provides personalized legal advice tailored to your specific situation, which Honestkey cannot do.
