## What this dataset covers

Six notice rules in state landlord-tenant law: ending a month-to-month tenancy (landlord and tenant), a rent increase, a notice for unpaid rent, landlord entry and late fees, each with its status, citation and machine-readable period.

Most often unconfirmed in this release: `lateFee` (13), `rentIncrease` (9), `mtmTenant` (4), `nonpayment` (3), `entry` (1). Every row carries all of its sources, each marked official or secondary in source_kinds.

## Download formats

The CSV has one row per jurisdiction and one column per field above, UTF-8, comma-separated. Nested fields use dotted names (`mtmLandlord.status`); lists are joined with ` | `, and lists of objects become `key: value; key: value` items. The JSON keeps types (numbers, true/false, null, arrays) and includes this dictionary, the license and the checked date.

## Accuracy

**Accuracy:** facts come from official government pages as they read when checked (November 2026 for this release); where no official page could be read, a few come from vetted secondary sources (Cornell LII, Justia (statute text only), FindLaw Codes, Casetext, NCSL, the Uniform Law Commission, the American Bar Association and state bar associations, legal aid networks (LawHelp.org and the state legal help sites), Nolo, the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel, the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the National Center for State Courts, the Eviction Lab, the Tax Foundation, the Sales Tax Institute, the American Payroll Association, SHRM, ADP, Paychex, Bloomberg Tax, Thomson Reuters, Avalara and Sovos), marked `secondary` in `source_kinds` and shown on the site as "(secondary source)". Anything those pages did not confirm is null and named in the row's `unconfirmed` list; a null that is not on the list means the point does not apply or the source states none. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. We are not lawyers, and MCC Solutions is not a law firm.
