How we review legal information
The Rent Resolver editorial team compares substantive legal statements with the official text, identifies the relevant law or article where practical, and records a review date. We update content when legislation or official guidance changes. We do not present commentary, search snippets, or third-party summaries as primary law.
Corrections and questions
If you have an existing case and spot a broken citation, outdated rule, or factual error, email support@rentresolver.com and include the page and statement concerned. We do not publish an unmonitored email address. Support can receive corrections but cannot provide advice about an individual case.
