How we check the rules
DisputeKit is a self-help document tool, not a law firm. This page explains where our information comes from and its limits.
Where the rules come from
We keep one rules file per state and dispute type (153 files for 51 jurisdictions). Each rule cites the statute it comes from, links to the official text, and stores a short verbatim quote from it. The same files drive the free rights check, the deadline calculator, the state guides and every letter, so they cannot disagree with each other.
Rules were last checked against the official text between October 10, 2026 and October 10, 2026. Where an official website could not be read, we used a public mirror of the same law and say so in our review notes.
What has not been reviewed yet
None of the rules files have been reviewed by a licensed attorney so far. Until they are, treat every result as general information. Laws change, local rules can add requirements, and your facts may change the answer.
When we can't be sure, we say so
Some deadlines depend on facts like when you gave your landlord a forwarding address, or when the rental agreement ended. If a fact like that is missing, we show “one detail needed” instead of guessing a date. Some states set no fixed deadline at all, and we show that rather than inventing one.
What the AI does, and what it doesn't
- An AI model rewrites only the paragraph that describes your facts, using only your answers.
- Laws, deadlines, amounts and penalties are never written by the AI. They come from the rules files and are calculated by ordinary code.
- Every date and dollar amount in the AI paragraph is checked against your answers. If anything doesn't match, we use a plain template paragraph instead.
- We send the model only the facts needed for that paragraph, through a provider setting that excludes services which train on prompts.
