HelloLandlord, a service created by legal experts, helps tenants quickly draft letters to their landlord to avoid eviction. HelloLandlord was originally used in response to the eviction moratorium during the COVID-19 pandemic to outline tenant’s right to avoid evictions under the CARES Act, the sweeping aid package signed into law on March 27, 2020. The group adapted an existing tool that it had already developed, along with LawX, the legal design lab at BYU Law School, and the Innovation for Justice program at the University of Arizona College of Law, for renters to send letters to landlords when they couldn’t afford rent.
