Heads up, at least on macOS Safari all the header-ish text is a dark grey color. Pretty poor contrast (even to my non-disabled eyes!). Definitely doesn't look intended.

You'll get a lot of haters from the petite bourgeoisie tech landlord crowd here but this is a good idea. The more tools to help renters negotiate against the countless predatory landlords the better. Even better would be ways to report or put their malfeasance on public record. $9 is too expensive though.

No information about who owns this company. Given that it is very likely run by, in effect, landlords, I would be extremely suspicious of any advice it would give me as a tenant.

Neat idea, I wish there was some sort of demo or cases study to read through though - I really get turned off by these product billboard sites that are basically just funnel users into a CRM, or into marketing emails / video chats.

I just want to see what your product can do, not hear you tell me about it.

(I say this even though the company I’m working for relies on exactly these means to acquire new customers.)

Any time an AI product is advertised with something like "Legal Research Agents", a shiver goes up my spine.

I see the testimonials (though, I don't put much faith in "Jane Doe" and "Mike Smith" testimonials), however I'm pretty sure in my area anyone who attempts to negotiate (especially based on an AI-built argument) will be told to pound sand.

It's not a great market for renters here. Even blatantly illegal clauses are openly advertised all the time.

I own a duplex. Live on one side and rent the other. If my renter pulled this stunt on me, I'd show him the door.

> If my renter pulled this stunt on me, I'd show him the door

What’s the stunt? If they send you an AI markup, sure, that’s obnoxious if they didn’t do research to substantiate the suggested edits. But if they point out a clause that is illegal in your jurisdiction, that strikes me as a win-win.

Internet law: never disclose that you are a landlord

Me never wanting to live next door to my landlord caring a lot.

Occupry is DeepResearch for lease contract negotiation. AI reasoning agents review clause-by-clause, research local governing statutes and best practices, and compiles a strategic plan for negotiating the best deal - complete with redline suggestions and example communications to get better terms.

Honestly, I think you’re going to run into UPL problems, and that residential renters typically have no power to negotiate lease terms.

treetalker · 2025-03-17T20:50:31 1742244631

They already have UPL problems, whether they realize it or not.

Don't shoo the messenger.
