$2,010 / month
Based on advertised asking rents — the basis is disclosed, not hidden.
Page 2 · The decision
Three options, real math
If the increase costs you the tenant for 27 empty days, the year's gain is gone. That math is IN the report.

Illinois legal check
Every rule cites its statute — 735 ILCS 5/9-207, linked. Chicago's longer tiers flagged.

"About this adjustment"
A one-page summary prepared by an independent data service: the market estimate, the range, and why small regular adjustments beat surprise catch-ups. You hand it over with the notice — the system explains the increase, so you never argue about it.
What's inside
Five pages. Every one earns its place.
1 — The number. A market estimate for your exact property with the likely range — and the comparables shown: addresses, beds, size, distance, similarity, asking rent. Every rent tool sells a number; almost none show their work. Ours does, including the honest caveat that listing data reflects asking rents, which run a little above what units finally rent for.
2 — The decision. Three options — hold, modest, market-align — each with the monthly increase, the new rent, the first-year gain, and the number nobody else prints: break-even vacancy. If pressing the increase costs you the tenant, how many empty days erase the gain? That single number is the difference between a confident increase and a regretted one.
3 — The rules. Your state's cap check (only three states cap increase amounts — the report knows if yours is one and runs your number against the current year's figure) and your notice requirement, with the send-by date calculated from your effective date. Statutes linked, not paraphrased.
4 — The notice. Written, dated, amounts filled in, ready to print and deliver — or check one box at purchase and we send it USPS Certified Mail with return receipt for $12, then email you the tracking number. Proof of delivery without a trip to the post office.
5 — The tenant's page. The quiet star. A one-page summary of how the adjustment was set — market estimate, comparables count, the case for small regular changes — prepared in a neutral, third-party voice. Landlords tell us the hardest part of a raise isn't the math, it's the conversation. This page has the conversation for you.
How it works
Five minutes now, in your inbox in minutes
Tell us the property — address, current rent, your planned effective date. Pay once — $19 through Stripe; card details never touch our servers. Get the report — a private link by email, minutes later. It prints cleanly, doesn't expire, and includes one free re-run within 12 months, so next renewal season starts with fresh numbers.
What we won't do
No subscription behind a "free" button. No trial that bills you in a week. No hidden comps — you see the same data we saw. No pretending an estimate is a promise: it's decision support built from advertised rents, and the report says so on page one. And your report is yours — we don't change it after you buy it.

Common questions
Where does the estimate come from?
Licensed listing and public-record data covering 140M+ US properties (via RentCast), analyzed for your specific address and bedroom count. The report shows the comparables it used — addresses, distance, similarity — and discloses that listing data reflects asking rents. We'd rather show our work than ask you to trust a sealed number.
Is this legal advice?
No — it's a plain-language summary of your state's rules with the statutes linked, plus a standard notice letter. For a dispute, a local landlord-tenant attorney is the right call, and the report will have organized everything they'd ask for.
Which states does the legal check cover?
All 17 states we've verified statute-by-statute: AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, MA, MI, NJ, NY, NC, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, and WA — including the three with statewide caps (CA, OR, WA) at their current-year figures.
What if the estimate looks wrong for my property?
Reply to your report email. Thin markets and unusual properties make any estimate wobblier — that's why the range and comps are shown. If the data genuinely missed, we'll re-run it with corrected details or refund you. A number you don't believe is useless to us both.
What does the certified mail add-on include?
We print your notice, send it USPS Certified Mail with electronic return receipt, and email you the tracking number for your records. $12, at checkout only.
Do I need a RentChime account?
No. The report is a one-time purchase delivered by email. If you later want the rent-day routine handled — opt-in reminder texts, a ledger that keeps itself — the free RentChime account is there, but the report never requires it.
Not legal advice. The report is decision support, not an appraisal or legal advice. Estimates derive from advertised listing data and carry real uncertainty, especially in thin markets — the range and comparables are shown so you can judge. Legal summaries link their statutes; local ordinances can add rules. Nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship.
