Build A Case
Keep a clear record of problems with your landlord
Build A Case gives you one place to log every interaction with your landlord and attach your evidence, then export it as a PDF case file. You stop relying on scattered notes, buried screenshots and half-remembered dates.
It includes reference information for U.S. federal and state agencies on issues such as housing, as a starting point for where a complaint may go. It is free to use for documentation.
How Build A Case does it
- Log each phone call, email, in-person talk, web form or letter, with the date, who you spoke to and what was said.
- Attach photos, video, audio, screenshots and documents from your camera or library.
- Mark up a photo, and the annotated copy saves alongside the untouched original.
- Check the single timeline, so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Export a clean PDF case file to hand to an agency, a regulator or a lawyer.
Questions
How can I show a file was not changed?
Every file is fingerprinted with a SHA-256 hash and timestamped, so you can show it has not been altered since you saved it.
Is my information private?
Yes. Everything stays on your device, with no account to create, and you can lock the app with Face ID.
Does it work for problems other than housing?
Yes. You can use it with an employer, a government agency, an insurer or any party you need to document.
Build A Case is a documentation and organization tool. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and is not a substitute for a licensed attorney.
