TenantTrailProtection · Evidence · AccountabilityYour real estate agent has a system.
Now you do too.
TenantTrail keeps every lease, email, photo and date on your side. Compass knows the laws, the acts and the codes that protect you, then tells you exactly how to respond. From your first inspection to your last bond dollar, push back on anything that isn’t fair. Calmly, with the receipts to prove it.
Most renters don’t lose because they’re in the wrong. They lose because they didn’t know the rule, or couldn’t prove what happened.
Made in Australia. Your documents stored in Australia, never sold, never used to train public AI.
Already in a dispute? Dispute Mode, $69 one-off, 30 days with a generous AI allowance for the tough stuff.
A sample case file. Yours will look just like this.
Leases, bond receipts, agent emails, even vet records and vaccination certs. One safe place, so you never dig through your inbox again.
A two-minute photo round, once a month. Come move-out, you’ve got dozens of dated photos. All they’ve got is a hunch.
Voice-note what just happened. We keep the audio, you can transcribe it on demand. Share a tamper-evident link with a friend in one tap.
Compass reads your agent’s emails and flags anything that isn’t right, before it costs you.
If it ever goes to tribunal, your full evidence bundle is one tap away.
Rent rises, lease endings, bond-lodgement deadlines. We watch the dates so you never miss one.
You do not have to fight this alone anymore.
The records. The templates. The years of doing this. The agent has always held the cards, and for most renters that has meant an unfair fight.
TenantTrail evens it up. Every photo, every email, every date, kept on your side of the table. Locked. Time-stamped. Ready. The next time something is not right, you will not be digging through old inboxes hoping you saved the right message. You will have the receipts.
Agents act differently when they know the renter is keeping records too.
Your strategist in the corner.
A rent rise that doesn't smell right. One inspection too many. A repair ignored for weeks. A bond they won't return. Whatever the agent throws at you, at any point in your tenancy, Compass knows the rule.
It reads the letter, checks your lease against your state's tenancy laws, and tells you exactly how to respond. The acts, the codes, the awards. Quoted back in plain English, in a reply that's ready to send.
Free, no sign-up needed. Compass tells you when it's worth a free call to your Tenants' Union.
“My agent has booked another inspection, the third one this term. Can they even do that?”
Let me check your lease against your state's rules. This looks like more than they're allowed. Here's a reply that quotes the exact rule and your own agreement, ready to send.
One document. Six stops. End-to-end evidence.
Follow one photo, kitchen_leak.jpg, through TenantTrail, all the way from your phone to a tribunal-ready PDF.
The six stops are just the spine. These sit on top.
Group any document under a colored tag: Carpet issues, Water leaks, Bond dispute. Filter the vault to one tag with a click. Export just those docs as their own tribunal-ready bundle.
Point Compass at a tag before you ask. It answers grounded in just those documents, so the citations track back to the exact evidence you flagged.
Every Compass reply has a Save this answer as evidence button. One click turns the question + answer + citations into a timestamped PDF filed under your case.
State-aware checks against your entry report, exit report and bond claim. Flags questionable deductions with the exact Act section. Deduction Fairness Check estimates fair depreciated value.
A solicitor’s letter runs $450–$650. A tenancy advocate, $800–$1,200. TenantTrail’s Dispute Mode is a one-off $69.
See the honest, side-by-side numbersTenantTrail wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built by a renter with a background in legal digital forensics who refused to back down. When their own tenancy went sideways, they put thousands of hours into tenancy law, the relevant acts, even the building codes, and produced hundreds of pages of dated, forensic proof. They won.
Then came the obvious problem. No normal renter has thousands of hours or a forensics background. So that entire process got built into TenantTrail. Now you get the same firepower in a few minutes a month.
Start your record today, while it costs you nothing.
Every month on TenantTrail, your position gets stronger. A few dated photos. A tidy record. A timeline building quietly in the background.
The renters who win at move-out are the ones who started on day one. Not the day the dispute landed. By then it is too late to prove what the place looked like when you picked up the keys.
Start your record now, while it costs you nothing.
Start free. Stay free if you don’t need more.

Things people ask before joining.
What is Compass?+
Compass is the friendly name we give our renting helper. Like a savvy mate who happens to know your state's renting rules inside out. Ask Compass anything in plain English: can my landlord enter without notice? Is this rent rise allowed? What do I write back to my agent? Compass answers warmly, points to the right rules. Will help draft your reply if you want.
Who is TenantTrail for?+
Any Australian renter. New tenants who want a tidy record from day one. Renters in the middle of a tough patch with their agent. People heading toward a tribunal hearing. Even pet owners and families who want everything (vet records, kid photos, repair requests) in one safe place.
Is it actually free to start?+
Yes. No card, no trial countdown. You get 5 Compass chats and 250 MB of safe storage on the free plan, forever. Upgrade only if you want more chats, monthly photo check-ins, or the full kit.
What if I'm already in a fight with my agent?+
That's exactly when most people find us. Dispute Mode ($69 one-off) gives you 30 days with 500 AI queries, plenty of room to get organised, write the letters you need and walk into your tribunal day calm and prepared. No subscription.
Is this legal advice?+
No and we'll never pretend otherwise. Compass is a friendly helper, not a lawyer. For actual legal advice your state's Tenants' Union is free and brilliant. Compass will always point you to the right one when it matters.
What about my privacy?+
Your documents are yours. Stored against your account only, never sold, never used to train public AI models. If you ever want everything deleted, one email to support and it's gone.
Why ‘TenantTrail’?+
Because every tenancy leaves a trail: photos, emails, payments, conversations. Most renters' trails are scattered across three phones, a Gmail folder and a memory. TenantTrail keeps yours in one safe place, in case you ever need it.
Why TenantTrail's evidence stands up
The thing most tenants lose at tribunal isn't the law. It's the timing of who sent what, when. Here's how we make sure that question never becomes a doubt.
None of this is legal advice. But at tribunal, a clean, time-stamped record of what really happened is what turns “he said / she said” into “here's the evidence”.
