App claims to identify eviction cases that would fail in court
Summary
A new app, ComplyWithMe, claims to screen possession cases and refuse to build a claim where the underlying paperwork would not satisfy court requirements under the Renters Rights Act. It guides users through possession scenarios, calculates notice periods and earliest court dates, and passes documents to a related hearing-stage service.

The article highlights the growing role of proptech in compliance-led tenancy management and the need to understand evolving legal requirements.
