Disclaimer

This is general information, not legal advice. City ordinances may be stricter and may override state rules. Check the official source for your city and state before acting.

What this means

The calculators and guides on US Rent Tools explain arithmetic and summarize verified state rules. They do not assess your lease, your property’s coverage or exemptions, the validity of a notice, or a local ordinance that may apply to you. A result that fits a state formula may still be unlawful for a particular home, and a result that exceeds a formula may still be lawful if an exemption or a different rule applies. Do not rely on this site alone for a decision with legal or financial consequences.

Get local advice when it matters

If a deadline is near, an eviction or payment notice is involved, an amount is large, or the facts are disputed, contact a local housing department, tenant or landlord organization, or a qualified professional in your jurisdiction. Keep copies of your lease, notices, payment records, and correspondence, and bring them to any advice appointment. This disclaimer was last updated on 2026-10-25.
