Settles a US residential security deposit after move-out under the state's statute (50 states and DC) and a covered city's ordinance. Inputs: state, deposit_usd, vacated_on; optional city, monthly_rent_usd, move_in_on, deductions (category, amount, item age, whether the tenant caused it), the dates that start a state's clock, and as_of. Returns the return deadline and its status, each deduction allowed or not (with depreciation), interest owed, refund due, penalty exposure, a draft itemized statement and a citation for every rule. Not for: legal advice, tenant demand letters, repair cost estimates, pet deposits, rentals outside the US. Deterministic and source-cited: the same input gives the same result.

Looks up the security deposit rules (deposits only) for one US state, with a covered city's deposit ordinance (Chicago, San Francisco, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Saint Paul). Inputs: state (two-letter code); optional city. Returns the deposit return deadline and what starts it, itemization and documentation duties, allowed deductions and depreciation, deposit interest, penalties, the deposit cap and recent changes, with citations. Not for: settling a specific move-out (deposit_settlement_settle does that), evictions, unpaid-rent collection, rent increases or rent control, lease renewal or notice periods, legal advice. Deterministic and source-cited: the same input gives the same result.

Estimates what it costs to turn over a US rental unit after move-out; the first tool for a turnover estimate. Inputs: a 5-digit ZIP, bedrooms, bathrooms and the issues in plain English (e.g. "stained carpet in both bedrooms"), which may come from the user's photos; optional unit type, size, year built. Returns a priced make-ready estimate: repair tasks by trade with low/expected/high costs for the ZIP, priorities, refer-outs to licensed professionals, assumptions and links. An AI model reads the issues; the answer is a draft listing what it read (reading), and words it cannot place bill nothing. Not for: diagnosing hazards, legal advice on deposits, remodel bids, properties outside the US. The same findings under the same ruleset give the same result; AI never sets a number.

Turns move-out inspection findings for a US rental unit into a priced make-ready scope. For a first estimate use property_turnover_quick_estimate (plain words). Inputs: property (ZIP, bedrooms, bathrooms, optional details) and findings, each an issue code from property_turnover_issue_codes with rooms, status, quantity and the original words (source_text); optional rate_card, decisions, detail. Returns tasks by trade, low/expected/high costs, priorities, vendor scopes, refer-outs, assumptions, unknowns and download links. Not for: diagnosing hazards, legal advice on deposits, remodel bids, properties outside the US. Deterministic and source-cited: the same input gives the same result.

The issue-code catalog for rental-unit turnover findings (group.issue codes such as carpet.pet_urine). Inputs, all optional: q (search words or a code), group (e.g. flooring), limit, include_aliases; query and area are older names for q and group. With no arguments it returns every code in short form (code, name, group, default extent, refer-out). With q it returns the best matches with description, aliases, not_when, rooms and examples. Returns the codes, the match count, every group, and general.manual_quote, the code for a condition no other code fits. Not for: cost estimates, legal or security-deposit questions, work other than rental turnover. Deterministic and source-cited: the same input gives the same result.
