★★★★★

Saved $2,400
Maya told me exactly which clause in my lease was unenforceable. I sent the letter that night. Landlord backed off in 48 hours — saved me about $2,400 in rent hikes.

Eviction stopped
I went in panicked about an eviction notice. Twelve minutes later I had a one-page game plan and a template letter. The court date got cancelled the next week.

Caught two issues
She read my whole lease on screen and found two clauses my paid attorney had missed last year. No exaggeration. Tipped happily.
