Sublet Goose: Protecting Students from Predatory Leases

Sublet Goose is an AI-powered legal advocate designed to shield the University of Waterloo community from predatory leasing practices. By cross-referencing documents against the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) 2006, it transforms dense contracts into transparent, actionable audits.


Project Overview

  • Automated Legal Auditing: Employs a multi-stage agentic workflow to cross-reference leases against a strict RTA-specific scoring rubric.
  • Granular Violation Detection: Distinguishes between standard legal terms, unenforceable "void" clauses (like pet bans), and "illegal" financial violations (like prohibited damage deposits).
  • Intelligent Risk Scoring: Calculates a dynamic safety score and provides a detailed "Score Breakdown" to educate tenants on the severity of each finding.
  • Instant Negotiation Suite: Generates professional, one-click negotiation scripts for every violation detected, empowering students to advocate for their rights.
  • Professional Design Standards: Features a high-quality "Cyber-Legal" dashboard with a sticky safety score bar and responsive "Finding Cards" for mobile accessibility.
  • Social Impact Integration: Bridges the "Justice Gap" by providing a direct pipeline to WUSA’s Student Legal Protection Program for students needing real-world legal representation.
