An example conversation, written by us to show how it goes.
My landlord is keeping my whole deposit for “general wear and tear”. Can he?
Candor

Almost certainly not. In most places normal wear and tear is exactly what a deposit can’t be used for: faded paint, worn carpet, small nail holes. A deposit covers damage and unpaid rent.

Ask him in writing for an itemised list of deductions with receipts. And tell me where you live: the deadline he had to return it, and what he owes you if he missed it, depend on your state or country.

Plain words

Paste a clause and get what it means, what is unusual about it and what to ask before you sign.

What you can actually do

The next steps in order: what to send, to whom, and by when.

Where you live matters

The law changes by country and by state. Say where you are and it answers for there.

Try it

Start from one of these.

Your lease

The clauses that matter.

Explain my lease in plain words:

A contract at work

Before you sign.

My employer wants me to sign a non-compete. What should I check before I sign?

A ticket

Whether to fight it, and how.

I got a parking ticket I think is wrong. How do I contest it?

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this legal advice?
No. Candor isn’t a lawyer and can’t represent you. It explains what documents and rules usually mean, so you know where you stand and what to ask a lawyer if you need one.
Does it know the law where I live?
It knows the general rules of many countries and US states, and it can search the web for the current text and cite it. Laws change: for a deadline or an amount, open the official source it links.
Can I give it a contract?
Paste the text or attach it as a text file. PDFs aren’t supported yet. A photo of a page works on Quick.
Quick or Powerful for legal questions?
Powerful, thinking first, for a long contract or a tangled situation. Quick is fine for a single clause.
