The full legal picture, for £9

Start free, unlock when ready.

Run the free checker first, review the verdict and top issues, then decide whether you want the fuller legal report, PDF, and letter tools.

The paid report is designed for users who want a stronger legal breakdown, ranked defence strategy, and a document they can keep or show to an adviser.

What the free checker gives you

Every checker is free to run and gives a usable answer without payment. Nothing below is behind the paywall.

• A verdict: valid, invalid, or needs review.
• A plain-English headline explanation of that verdict.
• The titles of the top rules that failed on your facts.
• A short list of general next steps.
• The statutory disclaimer, plus signposting to Shelter and Citizens Advice.

What the full report adds

The paid report is one payment for a single result, not a subscription. It expands the free verdict into the reasoning behind it and a plan you can act on.

• Every rule that passed, failed, or could not be verified, each with its statute reference.
• A ranked defence strategy showing which argument to lead with and which to keep in reserve.
• The landlord counter-argument on the same facts, so you know what is coming.
• A timeline of the likely next landlord moves, with the tenant action available at each stage.
• An evidence checklist that separates essentials from supporting documents.
• Formal response tone and escalation guidance.
• A downloadable PDF you can save, print, or hand to an adviser.
• A personalised draft response letter matched to your verdict and failed rules.

What is inside the full report

The report is generated deterministically from the answers you entered and is laid out in eleven numbered parts.

• 1. Case outcome summary.
• 2. Key legal findings, each tied to the rule that produced it.
• 3. What the landlord can still argue.
• 4. Your strongest defences, ranked.
• 5. Recommended next steps.
• 6. Evidence checklist.
• 7. Deadline analysis.
• 8. Formal response strategy.
• 9. Your personalised letter, ready to send.
• 10. Escalation routes if the landlord does not respond.
• 11. Realistic outcome expectations.

The draft letter

The letter is chosen to match your result rather than being a blank template, and it carries the legal basis lines and proportionate tone for that situation. The Section 8, Section 21, and tenancy deposit checkers bundle the drafted letter with the report. The repairs, damp and mould, rent increase, and illegal eviction checkers include a free editable letter template on their next steps page instead.

• Section 21 notice challenge, where the notice appears invalid.
• Transitional Section 21 challenge, for notices caught by the 1 May 2026 changeover.
• Holding response to a Section 21 notice.
• Section 8 defence response and evidence challenge.
• Notice clarification request, where the notice is unclear.
• Court stage defence acknowledgement.
• Deposit dispute or ADR request.
• Repairs letter before action.
• Illegal eviction emergency draft.

Which checkers it covers

The report is available across all seven checkers: Section 8, Section 21, tenancy deposit, repairs, damp and mould, rent increase, and illegal eviction.

How it works

You never pay before seeing an answer.

• Run the free checker and answer the structured questions. Most people finish in about five minutes.
• Review the free verdict, the basic explanation, and the issues found.
• Unlock the full report only if you want the deeper breakdown, the PDF, or the letter. Access is immediate.

What this is not

This is general legal information for England, not legal advice, and it does not create a solicitor-client relationship. The analysis is built by a deterministic rule engine from explicit statutes rather than generated answers, and it is scoped to assured shorthold tenancies in the English private rented sector. Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are out of scope.

It does not replace a solicitor, legal aid, Shelter, or Citizens Advice where there is court action, disputed evidence, or urgent housing risk. If you have a hearing date, court papers, or you have been locked out, get help from those services now rather than waiting on a report.

Common questions

Is this legal advice?

No. The report is general legal information built from structured legal rules. It helps you understand your position, the statutes involved, and the next steps, but it does not replace a solicitor where there is court action, disputed evidence, or urgent housing risk.

What if I just need the free result?

That is fine. The free checker still gives you a verdict, a basic explanation, and the top issues found. You only unlock the full report if you want the fuller legal breakdown, defence strategy, deadlines, PDF, or letter pack.

Can I get a refund?

If there is a technical issue with the paid report or the wrong product was delivered, contact support and the request can be reviewed. The report is a one payment digital product, so refund requests are considered case by case rather than automatically.

Is this a subscription?

No. It is a single payment for one checker result, with access right away. There is no recurring charge and no account to cancel.

Does the report include the letter?

The Section 8, Section 21, and tenancy deposit checkers bundle a drafted letter matched to your result with the report. The repairs, damp and mould, rent increase, and illegal eviction checkers include a free editable letter template on their next steps page instead.

Does this cover Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland?

No. Every checker and report is scoped to assured shorthold tenancies in the English private rented sector. Housing law differs in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, so the analysis would not be reliable there.
