Inflation Rent Dispute Mediator

3.25

Derivation Chain

Step 1 PPI wholesale price surge
→
Step 2 Increase in commercial rent disputes
→
Step 3 Fair rent increase rate calculation + auto-generated settlement agreements for landlord-tenant disputes

Problem

During periods of concurrent PPI and CPI increases, commercial landlords demand rent hikes while tenants (Small Business Owners) feel the increases are unjustified. Although the Commercial Lease Protection Act caps annual increases at 5%, neither party can present proper justification for the appropriate rate, leading to prolonged disputes. Legal consultation costs $370-$1,500 per case, which is burdensome for Small Business Owners.

Solution

Automatically combine (1) PPI/CPI fluctuation rates for the specific commercial district, (2) surrounding Rental market rates, and (3) Commercial Lease Protection Act cap rates to calculate a 'fair increase range,' then (4) auto-generate a draft settlement agreement both parties can agree on. A dispute prevention tool.

Target: Commercial tenant Small Business Owners (30s-60s) and small-scale commercial landlords (50s-70s), licensed real estate agents
Revenue Model: Fair increase rate lookup is Free, settlement document generation at $21 Per Transaction, real estate agent Monthly Subscription at $36 (unlimited generation).
