Important Notice
Please read these Terms carefully before using Guardian Landlord. By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1.About Guardian Landlord
Guardian Landlord is a software platform operated by Skillman Ventures LLC, doing business as Guardian Landlord. The platform provides a maintenance request coordination and communication tool designed to help independent landlords and their tenants manage property maintenance workflows.
2.Guardian Landlord Is NOT a Property Management Company
⚠️ This is the most important section. Please read it carefully.
Guardian Landlord is a technology platform — a software tool only. We are not a licensed property management company, real estate broker, contractor, repair service, or any other regulated professional service.
Guardian Landlord does NOT:
- Hold, collect, or disburse rent or security deposits
- Enter into leases or rental agreements on behalf of any party
- Provide legal, financial, real estate, or property management advice
- Employ, dispatch, supervise, or warrant the work of any contractors
- Guarantee the completion, quality, or outcome of any maintenance work
- Act as a licensed property manager or real estate agent in any jurisdiction
Property management activities and their legal compliance remain entirely the responsibility of the landlord. The Away Mode feature is limited strictly to maintenance request coordination and communication — it does not constitute property management services.
3.Eligibility and Account Registration
To use the Platform, you must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal authority to enter into binding contracts. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

5.Tenant Responsibilities
- The Platform is a communication and coordination tool only — it does not replace your lease agreement or your landlord's legal obligations.
- Submitting a maintenance request does not guarantee repairs within any particular timeframe.
- Guardian Landlord is not a party to your lease and has no authority to enforce your landlord's repair obligations.
6.AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

AI-generated suggestions, severity scores, and recommended fixes are for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional advice. You should not rely solely on AI-generated content when making decisions about property maintenance, safety, or repairs.

All communications through the Platform must be respectful, accurate, and made in good faith. You will not use the Platform to harass, threaten, or discriminate against any party. Communications may be stored and reviewed for quality, safety, and compliance purposes.
