Matter details

Start with the facts you can verify.

Only checked facts can drive a rule result or appear in your draft. Changing an answer removes its confirmation.

Where was the rental?
Was this property used as your residential dwelling?
Was this a transient or special occupancy?

Examples include a hotel or motel stay, institutional residence, cooperative/proprietary arrangement, or another special occupancy.

Is the rental government-assisted or regulated?

This includes public housing, vouchers, and other federally or government-regulated programs.

Is a court, eviction, bankruptcy, safety, or ownership-transfer issue active?

An eviction, lawsuit, bankruptcy, safety-related termination, or ownership-transfer dispute needs individual review.

Did you pay a fee in lieu of a security deposit?

A recurring or nonrefundable fee is not treated as a refundable deposit.

Did you leave before a fixed term ended, or from a week-to-week, month-to-month, quarter-to-quarter, or year-to-year tenancy?
Did both parties sign an election for statutory notices by email?

This means the voluntary statutory email addendum—not ordinary email use.
