Official sources first
Public legal information starts with enacted law, court or agency material, and an identifiable jurisdiction.
About / Editorial process
Independent software should show its work.
Renters' Rights is an independent educational product for organizing rental facts and finding official sources. It is not a government service, law firm, referral service, or substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer.
What publishes
A legal statement needs provenance and a boundary.
Dates stay visible
Source retrieval and law-check dates are displayed so readers can tell when the material was last reviewed.
Exceptions are not footnotes
State, local, program, property, timing, and party facts can change the answer. Known gaps are stated on the page.
Workflows require fixtures
Calculated paths are tested for covered, excluded, uncertain, exception, and effective-date branches before release.
Product boundary
The workspace organizes; it does not act for you.
- No account is required for the current workspace.
- Entries stay in the current browser session.
- The product does not file, send, or serve a notice.
- It does not calculate a court deadline or predict an outcome.
- Public analytics are disabled before private workspace content renders.
- Legal-aid and lawyer-referral starting points remain separate from the product.
Verify and escalate
Use the source, then get help when the stakes require it.
Check any important proposition against the linked official source. If the facts involve eviction, safety, subsidized housing, local rules, active litigation, or a live deadline, use the independent options on the legal-help page.
