How we keep Rentyfic accurate
We want Rentyfic to be genuinely useful, so we're upfront about what it is and isn't:
- It's educational, not legal advice. Our tools and guides explain how renting generally works in plain English. They can't replace advice about your specific situation.
- Laws vary by state and city — and change. The figures in our guides (deposit deadlines, notice periods, rent caps) are general references that have exemptions and get updated. Always confirm the current rule for your exact location using the official sources above.
- Everything runs privately. Most tools analyze your input in your browser — your lease, deposit details, and answers aren't uploaded.
- We tell you when we're unsure. Where a rule is nuanced, we say so and point you to where to verify rather than guessing.
