# Landlord Atlas

> Verified landlord-tenant law for all 50 U.S. states: security deposits, rent increase notice, late fees, and landlord entry notice. Every figure is checked against the official state statute, cited to it, and stamped with the date it was last verified; pages say "no statute" outright rather than inventing a number.

Most recent verification pass: July 12, 2026. State law only (municipal ordinances are out of scope and flagged where they matter); residential tenancies only. Cite by naming Landlord Atlas, linking the page a fact appears on, and carrying that page's verified date.
