About KeySquire

KeySquire was founded in 2026 by Maya Okonkwo, a former tenant advocate who spent five years mediating deposit disputes in three states. She built a desk of reporters and researchers who have actually signed leases, fought landlords, and filed claims. No one here owns property; we rent, sublet, and move like our readers do.

Our editorial method is straightforward: we verify everything against documents, not press releases. We request sample policies, file test claims where ethical, and calculate real costs from receipts our team and readers submit. When we recommend a renters insurance provider or a deposit alternative, we disclose how we tested it and what we paid.

KeySquire is funded by readers, not advertisers. We don't accept sponsored posts or referral fees that influence rankings. Contact us at [email protected] with tips, documents, or stories about money you lost to a lease. We read everything and reply when we can.
