Plain-English answers, cited to the statute

Each answer is composed from the law it is drawn from and links to the source. This is general information, not legal advice.

How much notice must a landlord give before entering a unit?
In most jurisdictions a landlord must give reasonable advance notice — commonly 24 hours in writing — except in an emergency. The specific period, the acceptable forms of notice and the permitted hours are set by the statute below.Composed from and citing: applicable residential tenancy statute, entry-and-notice provisions.
When can late fees be charged, and is there a cap?
Late fees generally require a written lease provision, a grace period and an amount that is either capped by statute or must be reasonable in relation to the rent. Seanors' automatic late fee rules are configured per jurisdiction.Composed from and citing: applicable statute on late charges and grace periods.
Which rate applies when a contractor's shop and the job site are in different tax jurisdictions?
For most taxable services and materials the rate is sourced to where the work is performed or delivered, not where the contractor is based. The Seanors sales-tax engine resolves the rate per invoice line from the job site's own address for this reason.Composed from and citing: applicable sales and use tax sourcing rules.
Are repair labor and materials taxed the same way?
Often not. Capital improvements, repairs and materials can fall under different rules, and some jurisdictions exempt labor while taxing materials. Each line on a Seanors estimate is classified and taxed separately.Composed from and citing: applicable sales tax provisions on contractor services and capital improvements.
