Tenant Receipts – An app I built for renters
Hi everyone,
I know this subreddit has rules regarding self-promotion, and I completely understand why. I don't normally post about things I've made, so if this post doesn't meet the community guidelines or isn't appropriate here, I completely understand if the moderators remove it.
The reason I wanted to share it is because it came directly out of my own experience.
A while back I had to take my landlord to court over repairs they refused to make. What surprised me most wasn't the legal process—it was how much time I spent gathering evidence. I had to dig through months of text messages, emails, photos, and notes just to prove that I'd reported the issues and given my landlord opportunities to fix them.
After everything was over, I decided to build an Android app called Tenant Receipts to make that process easier for others.
Some of the features include:
Keeping repair requests and landlord communications organized in one place.
Attaching photos and supporting documentation.
Generating repair request letters, emails, or text messages.
Tracking follow-up reminders so requests don't get forgotten.
Maintaining a timeline of requests for your own records.
Providing state-specific tenant rights information and legal aid resources.
At the moment, the app is U.S.-only, as the tenant rights information, legal resources, and document templates are based on U.S. laws and organizations.
I didn't build it as a legal advice app or because I think everyone will end up in court. I built it because I wish I'd had something like this before I found myself scrambling to gather months of evidence.
If anyone would like to check it out, it's available on Google Play:

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if this post doesn't align with the subreddit's self-promotion rules, I completely understand if the moderators decide to remove it.
