Experienced Paralegal for Multi-State Landlord-Tenant Notice Verification
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
We're building a tool that drafts state-specific landlord notices (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, late-rent demand, post-tenancy demand letter) for small landlords in all 50 U.S. states. Before we publish anything, we need a paralegal with hands-on eviction filing experience to verify each draft against the actual statute. THE WORK We've built a browser-based review tool. For each draft you'll: 1) Verify the statute citation against the official state source URL we provide 2) Confirm the cure period, service methods, and required notice contents match current law 3) Edit any FAQs or sample-notice language that needs polish 4) Approve, request re-research, or reject Every change is auto-logged to a per-page audit trail — no manual record-keeping. We'll do a 30-minute screen-share onboarding before you start, and walk through the first one or two pages together. SCOPE V1 is 8 states × 4 notice types = 32 pages: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio Time estimate: ~16 hours total. Roughly 5–7 minutes per clean page, 15–25 minutes for pages flagged with citation issues or recent statute amendments. This is foundational work. If v1 goes well, we'll continue with the remaining 42 states (~80 additional hours) plus quarterly review of statute updates across all states. The paralegal who handles v1 will essentially own the legal accuracy of our content as we grow. QUALIFICATIONS — REQUIRED 1) Hands-on eviction filing experience (you've prepared or filed unlawful detainer / forcible detainer actions) 2) Comfortable reading state codes, navigating chapter/section/subsection structure, and tracking recent amendments 3) Strong written communication — comfortable editing legal language for clarity without losing precision QUALIFICATIONS — STRONG PREFERENCE 1) Multi-state experience, especially CA, TX, NY 2) Familiarity with recent reforms (NY HSTPA, ongoing California eviction protections, recent Texas amendments) 3) Background in tenant rights or landlord-side eviction practice We're a small, pre-launch team building a real product. The right paralegal partner here is someone who wants to own the legal accuracy work, not just clock hours.
