Our house went from weekly arguments to zero drama in two weeks. The Strike Score changed how everyone behaves — nobody wants to be the one with points.

Filed my first arbitration case in 10 minutes. The decision came back in 18 hours. My roommate paid the next day. I didn't have to say a word.

I manage 12 units across 3 properties. Coun5el replaced a part-time manager. The WhatsApp analysis alone saves me 4 hours a week.

how it works

From move-in to move-out — and everything between.

Create your home. Invite roommates. Set the rules. Everyone signs in.
Every day
AI reads the group chat. Flags tension before it escalates. Tracks payments and cleaning.
On conflict

legal protection

When management isn't enough — legal protection is built in.

Coun5el documents everything from day one. When it's time to file, your case packet is already assembled.

01 · Nonpayment

“They stopped paying rent.”

Strike Score and payment ledger build the timeline automatically — dates, amounts, and notices in one packet.

02 · Roommate removal

“A roommate has to go.”

Documented violations, arbitration decisions, and a jurisdiction-specific roadmap for lawful removal.

03 · Guest overstay

“A guest never left.”

Establish the timeline an overstaying guest creates — and the exact steps to address it where you live.
