Know exactly where you stand in any dispute.
Forward it to Judy. She tells you—for free—whether you have a case, and drafts a response you can send yourself.
- Free
- The read on whether you have a case costs nothing.
- Plain English
- No jargon, no filings—just what the facts support.
- You stay in control
- You review and send every word yourself.
How it works
Three steps, and you never leave your own name off the letter.
- 01
Forward what you received
Paste or forward the email, letter, invoice, or notice. Add a line or two about what happened. Nothing to fill out, no account required to get a read.
- 02
Get an honest read—for free
Judy works through the facts, the relevant terms, and what the law generally expects in situations like yours. She tells you plainly whether you have a case, where you're strong, and where you're not.
- 03
Send a grounded letter yourself
If you have standing, you get a calm, specific letter built from the record—dates, amounts, and the terms that apply. You read it, edit it, and send it under your own name.
Every read is grounded in statutes, case law, and the terms you already agreed to.
What a grounded letter looks like
Factual. Specific. Impossible to wave away.
A good letter doesn't threaten and it doesn't bluff. It lays out the record so plainly that the reasonable move is to resolve it. Every claim is tied to a date, a figure, or a term that both sides already agreed to.
- States the facts in order, with dates and amounts.
- Points to the specific clause or rule that applies.
- Asks for one clear outcome and a date to respond by.
- Stays measured—no insults, no exaggeration, no threats.
Dear Mr. Hale,
I am writing regarding the $1,850 security deposit for the tenancy at 14 Alder Street, Unit 3, which ended on March 31. Under the lease we both signed (Section 8), the deposit is refundable less the documented cost of any damage beyond ordinary wear.
To date I have received neither the deposit nor an itemized statement of deductions. State law requires that statement to be provided within 30 days of move-out; that window closed on April 30.
The unit was returned clean, and I have dated photographs from the final walkthrough on March 31, along with your email of March 24 confirming “no issues noted.”
Please return the full $1,850, or provide the itemized statement the law requires, by May 24. I would prefer to resolve this directly and without further steps.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
Plain about what this is
We'll always tell you exactly what you're getting.
Being clear about our limits is part of being trustworthy. Here is the honest boundary of what Subjudy does and does not do.
What it is
- A way to understand your own dispute in plain English
- A free, honest read on whether the facts support a case
- A drafting tool for calm, grounded letters you send yourself
- A place to organize dates, amounts, and the terms that apply
What it is not
- A law firm or a substitute for one
- A lawyer, and it does not give legal advice
- A guarantee of any particular outcome
- Something that ever sends a letter without you
The everyday disputes it reads
The kind of thing you shouldn't have to hire someone to handle.
Not sure if yours fits? Forward it anyway. If the facts don't support a case, Judy will tell you that plainly—and it's still free.
