Know when a tenant, borrower or guarantor lands in court.
Monitor watches the companies you name, your tenants, borrowers, guarantors and counterparties, against new public filings twice a day, and emails you when one appears. It is built for lenders, landlords and asset managers who would rather learn about a Chapter 11 petition from a same-day alert than from a missed rent check.
- Every new Chapter 11 petition in every U.S. bankruptcy court.
- New federal civil suits that name a company on your watchlist.
- SEC Form 8-K filings under Items 1.03 (bankruptcy or receivership), 2.04 (triggering events that accelerate an obligation) and 3.01 (delisting notices).
- Commercial cases in two state court systems: Hillsborough County (Tampa), Florida, and the Harris County (Houston), Texas justice courts.
State trial courts anywhere else are not watched yet. Most county portals sit behind a login, a CAPTCHA, a per-search fee or a ban on automated use, and none of those is worked around. The coverage page lists exactly what is and is not covered. For data handling, retention and cancellation terms, see the procurement & security summary.
Names are matched the way a paralegal would match them: corporate designators like LLC and Inc. are ignored, "doing business as" names are split out, and a name that only matches the start of a longer one is flagged as probable rather than certain. Generic words on their own never match. Each alert names the filing, the court, the docket number and the name that matched, and links to the public record.
Alerts arrive by email, and in a Slack channel too if you connect one on your account page. The job runs at about 6:30 am and 5:30 pm Central. A failed email is retried on every run for a week. Every run, every alert and the time each was stored, matched and emailed are published on the alert log, so the loop can be checked rather than taken on faith.
What lands in your inbox when a saved name matches a new filing. "Example Industrial Partners LLC" is not a real company; the filing types, fields and timing match what a real alert actually carries — see real matches and their real timestamps on the alert log.
Every account with a watchlist also gets a periodic recap, even in months with nothing to report — so "no news" is a confirmed fact, not silence you have to trust. Portfolio name, counts and the matched filing below are all fabricated for this example.
- Watchlist import: paste or upload a CSV of names with a type for each (property, tenant, lender, guarantor, counterparty), so a rent roll or loan list goes in at once.
- The litigation tracker: commercial real estate matters with parties, judge and amount recorded as data, filterable and exportable to CSV or PDF.
- Company pages: every tracked matter for a company, with public bankruptcy filings alongside.
- Chapter 11 Watch: real estate and construction petitions as they are filed.
- Case Value Calculator: a probability-weighted value for a dispute, with its track record against real outcomes published.
- Delivery to Microsoft Teams or by text message. Email and Slack are live.
- State trial courts beyond the two counties above.
Monitor is separate from CREdocket Briefs, the weekly written memo on commercial real estate litigation.
