Verified security deposit laws by state
DwellDocket turns security-deposit statutes into structured, source-linked records for landlords, tenants, and software teams. Every published value keeps its official text, scope notes, and verification date attached.

The evidence loop
That separation is the product’s safety rail. It reduces repetitive work without letting a text diff rewrite the law.
Record the official statute or ordinance URL and the exact section locator.
Store dates, limits, exceptions, and provenance as versioned fields—not filler prose.
Archive low-frequency source checks and queue any changed fingerprint for review.
A checked change creates a new version; the previous record remains in history.
Built to compound
Search pages acquire readers. Change alerts retain them. The read-only API serves property software. All three depend on the same cited record.
Public jurisdiction pages unlock only after every visible value is human-verified.
