Frequently asked questions

These answers explain how to interpret the estimator, what the confidence labels mean, and why NoticePath uses visible source links and as-of dates instead of pretending the rules never change.

Does NoticePath give legal advice?

No. It explains a baseline process and links to official sources so a user can verify the current rule path.

Why does the confidence level change by state?

Confidence drops when local overlays or court practice are more likely to change the statewide baseline.

Why are court dates shown as ranges?

Court scheduling is operational, not statutory, so NoticePath shows a band and labels it as an estimate.

Can I use this if my city has special tenant protections?

Yes, but you should treat the statewide baseline as a starting point and confirm local overlays before acting.
