Renterprise is what happens when a 23-year-old law student gets tired of watching her friends sign illegal leases. Here's everything you need to write about it.
The 60-second story
Mya Bertolini is a 23-year-old final-year Law and Arts student at the University of Sydney, working as a paralegal at Turks Legal.
In May 2026, she launched Renterprise at renterprise.com.au: a free, privacy-first AI tenancy tool made in NSW, for NSW renters. It reads leases, eviction notices, bond claims, rent increases, and repair fights against the actual NSW Residential Tenancies Act 2010, cites the exact section that voids problematic clauses, and drafts the pushback letter the renter needs to send.
Its differentiation: anti-fabrication guardrails (a hand-verified allowlist of 100+ NSW Act sections plus a server-side validator) so the AI literally cannot invent a section number the way ChatGPT does. The platform also refuses to draft losing cases — if a tenant's case is legal-and-reasonable, the letter generator declines.
Built solo over three months around finishing a law degree. Pre-launch with real users. Privacy-first by architecture: matter content stays on the user's device, server-side data is just email + plan + Stripe session. No tracking, no data sale. One free lease check per year; $49-$129 one-time for whole-lease unlimited access. DV crisis tenancy tool permanently free.
Headline angles
Story angles that fit different verticals.
Housing / cost-of-living
“A Sydney law student built the legal tool the system should have built. Every NSW lease has clauses that aren't enforceable. Most renters sign anyway because they don't know.”
Tech / AI
“ChatGPT will confidently invent a section number that doesn't exist. Renterprise has a hand-verified allowlist and a server-side validator so its AI literally can't. A NSW-only legaltech moat built by a solo founder.”
Women founders / young founders
“Mya Bertolini, 23, USYD Law, built Renterprise solo around full-time uni and a paralegal job at Turks Legal. The whole platform shipped in three months. The founder story behind the product.”
Consumer rights / advocacy
“Tenants' Union helplines are overwhelmed. Lawyers cost more than the bonds they recover. A free, privacy-first AI tool grounded in the actual NSW Act fills the gap nobody else has. With a founder who's been in the loop herself for years.”
Reform / policy (post-May-2025)
“The NSW reforms changed enough that a lot of advice online is now out of date. From 19 May 2025, no-grounds eviction is gone — including at end of fixed term. Most landlords (and a surprising number of agents) haven't caught up. A NSW founder built the tool that surfaces that mismatch at scale.”
Privacy / digital rights
“A women-led platform that handles sensitive legal data with minimal server-side data (email + plan only) and matter content that stays on the user's device. No data sale, no third-party tracking, no behavioural analytics — a counterexample to standard tech-bro privacy practices.”

Quotes you can use
Founder quotes, attributable to Mya Bertolini.
“I built this because I watched my friends sign awful leases without realising what they were agreeing to. The Tenants' Union helplines are overwhelmed. Lawyers cost more than the bond. Renterprise is the tool I wish my friends had had.”
“Most leases have clauses that aren't legally enforceable. Mandatory professional cleaning. Six-week bonds when the law caps it at four. Tenants paying for repairs that are the landlord's responsibility. Renters sign them because they don't know they can push back.”
“ChatGPT will confidently invent a section number that sounds plausible — 's. 187 of the NSW Act says...' — and you have no way to know it's fake. For a letter you're putting in front of a landlord or attaching to a Bond Board claim, that's catastrophic. Renterprise has a hand-verified allowlist and a server-side validator so the AI literally cannot.”
“Renterprise isn't a tenant cheerleader. If you damaged the carpet and the landlord wants a reasonable amount for a clean, the platform tells you to pay. That's the design decision that makes legal professionals take it seriously.”
“Each Australian state has its own Residential Tenancies Act. Generic Australian rental advice is wrong as often as it's right. A renter pushing back on a $3,720 bond demand can't afford that. Better to be deeply right in one state than averaged across six.”
“I'm doing this because the problem is real, because I've been in it myself for years, and because the building of it is the thing I want to do with my early career.”
