## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the agreement, the rent ledger, bank deposits and receipts the lawyer supplies, lay out each rent period with the amount due, the amount paid and the running balance, flag mismatches between ledger and deposits, and show the arrears at the notice date.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the reconciliation against the deposits, decides which payments are allocated to which period, and confirms the arrears figure before any notice is served or answered.
- 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.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check every payment in the ledger against a deposit or receipt.
2. Confirm the rent amount used for each period reflects any lawful increase and its effective date.
3. Recompute the arrears total independently before relying on it.

## 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.
