RentNotice.org is a free public service that lets tenants verify whether an eviction or legal notice is authentic. No app. No login. No cost. Ever.
Fake eviction notices are a documented fraud vector in California. Bad actors distribute fabricated notices to intimidate tenants — particularly those who are elderly, non-English speaking, undocumented, or unfamiliar with their rights — into vacating without legal cause.
Every notice generated on RentNotice.com is printed double-sided. The notice faces the door. The verification page faces the world. This creates trust and provides both privacy and dignity to the tenant.
When a tenant scans the QR code, RentNotice sends a text to their registered phone confirming the notice is real, who issued it, and when it was served. The text includes a link to the full affidavit of service — photos, GPS coordinates, server identification, and timestamps.
No data generated by the tenant — including clicks, text replies, or browsing activity — is ever recorded.
