What they did

After a $400 rent hike, a tenant fed Grok Bot the full lease plus three years of emails; overnight it matched open repair requests to a no-increase-while-repairs-open clause, totaled $6,200 overcharged across 18 cycles, drafted a demand letter, and later helped coordinate 14 other units — the landlord's lawyer confirmed the numbers.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Connect my Gmail. Read this lease PDF and our email history with [landlord / property manager]. Find anything they're not allowed to do, especially rent increases while repair requests are still open. Build a dated folder of emails, receipts and photos linked to sources, total any overcharges, and draft a demand letter in my voice. Wait for my yes before sending anything.
