That paper on your door is not a lockout

An eviction notice doesn't mean you're out tonight. It means a clock just started, and what you do with the next few days decides how this whole thing goes.

There's probably a notice sitting on your counter right now that says pay up or get out, and it feels like the locks could change before morning. That's not how this works. But that fear is exactly what makes people freeze, blow past the deadline, and lose without a judge ever hearing their side.

So here's what this actually is. Eviction Shield takes the stuff you already know (what the notice says, who your landlord is, what you owe, what you want to happen) and turns it into court-ready paperwork and letters to your landlord. You read every page, sign what you agree with, print it, and walk it into the clerk's office yourself. We're not lawyers and we won't pretend to be. But you also won't be sitting at the kitchen table at midnight googling what an "answer" is supposed to look like.

It's $595, one time, full access. Fill out the form, we call you, and you're in the software the same day.

Keep the notice close by for the call so you're not guessing at dates. We call the number you put down and get you logged in. $595, one time, that's the whole fee.

What you get

You tell the software what happened. It hands you back papers you can actually use: court-ready templates, letters to your landlord, and the next step spelled out in plain English. One fee covers all of it.

Templates you can take to the clerk

If that date goes by and you haven't filed anything, the court never hears from you, and the landlord's version becomes the only version. You upload the notice, answer the questions you already know the answers to, and the software generates the answer, the motions, and the landlord letter that fit where your case is right now. Read them the way you'd read anything you're about to hand to a clerk, then sign, print, and take them in.

Letters for when you still need the landlord to work with you

Half the time what you really need is more time or a payment plan. You shouldn't have to stare at a blank page trying to sound like an attorney just to ask for it. The software drafts those letters (and an email version) from the facts you already gave it. You send the email from your own Gmail when you're ready. We don't send anything on your behalf.

What to do next, and who near you can still help

You shouldn't have to guess which window to stand at or who in your town still helps tenants. The software walks you through the next step in plain English, and when you put in your ZIP it pulls up rental assistance, legal aid, and tenant groups in your area so you can call them yourself.

A place to keep track of the case as it moves

A new notice shows up. A court date gets set. You make a payment. You update the software and the steps update with you, so you're never working off a page that's already out of date. There's also a chat built in for when the next question hits at 11pm and you don't want to sit there with that notice by yourself.

This is for you if there's already a notice in your hand

You're holding a 3-day pay or quit, a cure or quit, a 7-day, a 30-day, a notice to quit, or a complaint that's already been filed. This page is for tenants. If you're a landlord, this isn't for you (sorry).

Fill out the form and we'll call you and get you into Eviction Shield. You walk through the questions, upload the notice, and come out with the template that matches your situation plus the steps for what to actually do with it. Then it's on you: read it, sign it, file it, serve who you're required to serve, and show up on the date. If what you're looking for is a lawyer who does all of that for you, that exists, and it costs thousands more than this.

These are the templates inside the software. You pick the one that fits what's happening right now, then you read it carefully before you print it and take it in.

Already have a court date, a judgment, or a sheriff date?

Put that in the very first line of the form so we know how much time you actually have. A court date means you need to walk in with papers you've read, not an empty folder. A writ or a sheriff date is late in the process, and it's urgent. The software can generate an emergency stay motion for you, but a judge decides whether the lockout stops, and nobody (us included) can promise you it will.

If you do nothing, they can win without ever hearing you

You've probably read that notice four or five times already and googled whether they can lock you out tomorrow. Here's the honest version: if you file nothing, the next thing in the mail is a lawsuit. Then a court date. Then eventually someone at your door with a new lock.

A messy notice is still a clock

Wrong name on it. Wrong amount. Days counted the wrong way. Taped to the door when it was supposed to be handed to you. All of that might matter, but a sloppy notice still starts the clock, and you still have to respond to it. Upload the notice, tell the software what's wrong with it, and get your side on paper before their version is the only one on file.

Judges look at what you filed

They also look at whether you showed up. Standing there talking with nothing in your hands is asking the room to take your word over a stack of paper. Walk in with a template you've read and understand, so at the very least you get heard.

File nothing and you can lose by default

At that point the landlord's story is the only story, and that's how most people lose without ever getting a hearing. After a default the clock gets shorter and the options get fewer, so the earlier you start, the more you have to work with.

How it works

Form, phone call, software, papers in your hand. That's the whole process.

  1. You fill out the form

    Tell us your city, your county, what you were served with, and any court date or sheriff date you already have. We call the number you put down and get you signed in. Have the notice nearby so you're not guessing at dates.

  2. You answer the questions and upload the notice

    You go through a short chat about what happened, who the landlord is, what you owe, and what you're hoping for. A photo of the whole notice is enough to get started. If you've got the lease or proof you paid, add those too. The software takes those facts and shows you exactly where the case sits.

  3. You get the template that matches this moment

    You'll see the filing or the landlord letter that fits what's happening right now, along with the steps for what to do with it. No more hunting through random PDFs at midnight hoping you picked the right one.

  4. You read it, sign it, print it, file it, and show up

    You can edit the template before you sign it. Then you print it, take it to the clerk, and serve whoever you have to serve. Then you show up. The software doesn't walk in as your lawyer, and we want to be clear about that up front.

Questions people ask when they've got a notice in their hand

Can you actually stop this?

A judge decides whether the process stops or slows down, not us. What we can do is get you into software that generates the templates and letters so you have a real shot at being heard. Sitting still is how people lose by default, and that's the part you can still do something about.

I already got a 3-day. What now?

A 3-day is a clock, not a lockout. Fill out the form, we'll call you and get you into the software, and you upload the notice so it can generate the template and the steps you need before that clock gets used against you.

The court date is already set.

Put the date on the form so we know how close it is. The software generates a template you can walk in with, and if the date is so close that this is the wrong tool for you, we'll tell you that instead of taking your money and letting you miss a hearing.

What if I lose?

Then you still showed up with papers you filed, which can matter for how much time you get, how the writ is handled, and what you end up owing. Losing after you answered is a very different thing from losing because you never filed anything and the landlord's story was the only one in the file.

I don't have the rent. Is this still worth it?

A lot of the people who fill out this form don't have the balance today. You can still generate a payment plan letter, a letter asking for more time, and the court templates that fit your facts. The software can't make the debt go away, and we're not going to pretend it can.

Is this better than a lawyer?

A lawyer who stands next to you in court is a different service, and it costs a lot more. This is for someone who needs templates and steps started tonight and is willing to file themselves. If you need someone to write the papers and walk them in for you, this isn't that.

How fast?

You send the form, we call, you're in. You could be working on your answer tonight instead of spending three days calling lawyers who don't have room for you.

Will this go on my record?

An eviction filing can show up on tenant screening later. What future landlords look at is what got filed and whether there's a judgment. The software doesn't touch court records, and we're not going to tell you it does.

Do I have to go to court?

If there's a hearing, yes. You file, you serve, and you show up. The software doesn't go in as your lawyer.

Can you guarantee I won't be evicted?

No. Anyone who guarantees that is selling you a story. You get the software, you file, and the court decides.

How much?

$595, one time. That's full access to Eviction Shield: the templates, the landlord letters and email, the instructions, the local resources, case updates, and the self-help chat.

Do you write the documents?

No. The software generates court-ready templates from your answers. You read them, sign them, print them, file them, and serve whoever you have to serve.

What templates are in the software?

Answer to Eviction (Court Answer), Letter to Landlord: Ask for More Time, Letter to Landlord: Request Payment Plan, Motion for Continuance, Motion to Dismiss, Motion / Notice of Automatic Stay (Eviction) Due to Bankruptcy, Emergency Motion to Stay the Writ of Possession, Emergency Motion to Stay Eviction, Motion to Determine the Amount of Rent Owed, and Motion for Hearing. You pick the one that fits what's happening right now.

I already have a writ or a sheriff date.

Say that in the first line of the form so we know this is late. The software can generate an emergency stay motion, but a judge decides whether the lockout stops, and nobody can promise you that it will.

I feel hopeless.

Most people do the night the notice shows up. Hopeless is a feeling, but a missed filing date is a fact, and only one of those two things can be fixed. Fill out the form so you're not sitting with that paper alone while the clock keeps running.

This is my only home. I don't want to move.

Then the next move is papers you can file, not a suitcase. Wanting to stay is the whole reason people fill this out. Start with the form so we can get you into the software while there's still time to use it.

The place is a dump. Mold, pests, no repairs. Does that matter?

It can, if those facts make it into the answers the software uses. Photos, dates, texts you already sent about repairs, all of it goes in the intake so it can show up in the template you review.

I already paid part of the rent.

That needs to be in the answers you give the software, along with the receipt or the message. Don't assume the court already knows. Upload it so it can show up on the page you file.

The landlord is harassing me, won't talk to me, or refused the rent.

Save the texts. Write down the dates. Enter them so the letter or the court template can tell that story. You decide what you send, and you read every page before you send it or file it.

I have a disability or a real hardship.

Say so when you answer the questions. Some courts will look at a request for more time if it's asked the right way, and the software can generate a template that asks. Whether they grant it is up to the judge.

What about bankruptcy?

The software has a stay notice if that's your situation, and it can point you to the official court forms. Filing bankruptcy is a separate decision, though, and you should talk to someone who can actually advise you on that before you do it.

What do I need to upload?

The notice, the lease if you have it, proof you paid or tried to pay, and any messages. A photo of the whole notice is enough to start. Don't wait until you've got a perfect folder put together.

What happens after I submit?

Someone from EARN calls the number you listed and gets you into the software. The fee is $595, one time, for that access. We use your number to talk about your case, and we don't sell it to anyone.

Do you help in every state?

Tenants anywhere in the United States can use the software. You enter your county and ZIP so the templates and the local resources match where you actually live.

I'm too overwhelmed. I've never done this before.

Most people on this page have never done this before. The form is the first step so you're not staring at a blank page at the kitchen table. The software walks you through the questions and the steps from there.

Is this confidential?

We use what you send us to get you into the software and talk about your case. We don't sell your number or your story. You file under your own name, and the landlord sees what you file, not this website.

What if I just ignore the notice?

Then the landlord's story becomes the only story. That's how people lose by default, get a judgment, and watch a sheriff date show up in the mail. The notice doesn't pause because you're scared of it.

Will they kick me out tomorrow?

A notice on the door is not the sheriff. A judge and a lockout come later, and they come a lot faster if you file nothing. That's the whole reason to start today.

Who do you work for?

Tenants. We built this for people who got a notice, not for the landlord who posted it. If you're a landlord, this page isn't for you.

Is this a lawyer?

No. Eviction Shield is self-help software, not a law firm. Nobody here shows up in court as your attorney.

Does the app file for me?

No. You read the template, you sign it, you print it, you file it, you serve whoever you have to serve, and you show up.

What kinds of notices does this cover?

3-day pay or quit, cure or quit, 7-day, 30-day, notice to quit, and a complaint that's already been filed. If you're not sure what you're holding, send us a photo once we get you in.

The clock on that notice doesn't care that you're tired

You've read this far, which means part of you already knows sitting still isn't the plan. Fill out the form, we'll call you, and tonight you can be generating the paperwork instead of staring at that notice. $595, one time.
