## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: From the documents the client chooses to provide, list which accepted forms of evidence the client already holds and what the local scheme requires. The tool writes nothing in the notice or the advice and receives no address or details of the other party.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer advises on the right to end the tenancy, the evidence required, the termination date, liability for rent and damage, the bond, and the client's safety, and prepares the notice with the client.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm with the client what can safely be put in writing, uploaded or sent, and to whom.
2. Check the evidence the client holds is one of the accepted forms in the local scheme.
3. Advise on what happens to co-tenants, the bond and any rent or damage claim.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
