## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Residential Tenancies](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the ledger and the lease, list each charge, the due date, the amount paid, and the balance, and mark any charge that does not appear in the lease. Do not calculate a statutory notice period. |
| What the lawyer must review | The balance is a fact. Whether it supports a notice is the state's unlawful-detainer or eviction statute and the lease. In California, Civil Code § 1946.2 treats a breach of a material lease term as at-fault just cause only after the notice-and-cure step that section describes. Confirm the governing state's notice statute before any notice goes out. Formal Opinion 512: check the arithmetic. |

- Rent-control and fee limits differ by city. Open the local ordinance if the ledger includes fees.
