Illegal landlord fees

Landlord charging illegal fees? State law often forbids them.

Move-in 'admin fees,' undisclosed pet rent, application fees over the legal cap, late fees that exceed statutory limits — many states explicitly cap these or ban them entirely. We audit the lease against your state's tenant-protection statutes.

Sound familiar?

If any of this is happening to you, we can help.

Move-in 'admin' or 'processing' fee on top of deposit

Pet rent or fees not disclosed at lease signing

Late fees above the state-permitted cap

Application fee above the state-permitted cap

Fee for 'damage' that's actually wear and tear

Mid-lease fee increases without proper notice

How we handle it

The procedural side, on autopilot.

We audit the lease against state law

Many states cap or ban specific fee types — application fees, late fees, move-in admin fees. We map your lease to the state statute.

We demand refund of illegal fees

Illegal fees can be demanded back. Most landlords refund quickly when they realize the fee is statutorily capped or banned.

We pursue statutory damages where available

Some states (California, others) allow tenants to recover statutory penalties on top of refunds. We pursue these where they apply.

Common questions

Answered.

  • Most consumer disputes don't need a lawyer when the procedure is followed correctly. Dot & Cross handles the procedural side end-to-end and refers to an attorney only when one is genuinely required.

Fine print

  • Founders deal — First month of subscription is free for waitlist members ($19 base fee waived). After the first month, waitlist members pay 50% off the standard subscription rate ($9.50/month instead of $19), locked in as long as you remain a member. Per-action fees (certified mail, agency filings, notary services) still pass through at cost. No contingency cuts on what you recover. Offer closes when we open to the public.
  • Referral program — When a friend signs up through your share link and makes their first transaction of $5 or more (any subscription or per-action charge), you and your friend each unlock 1 free month of subscription. There is no cap on how many free months you can stack. Free months don’t expire and are not clawed back if your friend later cancels.
  • Email & privacy — No credit card required to join. We won’t email you again until we’re live. Cancel your subscription anytime after launch.
