For Journalists
Story Angles
Pre-researched story angles with data points from our platform. Feel free to use these as starting points for your coverage.
How AI is changing tenant rights
Millions of renters sign leases they don't understand. Tools like Honestkey™ are making legal literacy accessible to everyone — not just those who can afford a lawyer.
The hidden costs in rental leases
78% of leases analyzed by Honestkey™ contain at least one clause that's illegal or unfavorable. Late fees, deposit overcharges, and waived rights cost renters an average of $1,100 per lease.
State-by-state tenant protection gaps
Tenant protections vary wildly across the US. Some states limit deposits to one month's rent; others have no cap at all. Honestkey™'s data reveals where renters are most — and least — protected.
Why most renters don't read their lease
61% of renters sign without fully understanding their lease. The average rental agreement is 15+ pages of legal language. What happens when renters finally understand what they signed?
