Templates Disclaimer · Tentunit Help Center

Version 1.0 (Draft — pending legal review) · Effective Date: July 11, 2026 · Applies to: Tentunit Business

This is a binding policy and forms part of your agreement with Tentunit.

1. Overview

Tentunit Business includes a library of document templates to save you time. This notice explains what the template library is — and, just as importantly, what it is not — and it forms part of your agreement with Tentunit under the Platform Terms of Service.

1.1 What the Template Library Is

The template library (“Templates”) is a collection of general-purpose forms provided for your convenience, including: lease notices; pay-or-quit and other demand notices; lease addenda and riders; move-in and move-out inspection checklists; statutory and safety disclosures (for example, lead-based paint disclosure forms); estoppel certificates; and inspection, accounting, and record-keeping forms. Templates may be offered as static documents, fillable forms with placeholders, or inputs to platform workflows such as e-signature.

1.2 Drafted for General Use — Not State-Specific

Templates are drafted for general use across many jurisdictions. They are not tailored to the law of any particular state, country, city, or county unless a Template is expressly labeled as jurisdiction-specific, and even labeled Templates may not reflect the most recent legal changes or local ordinances. A Template that is lawful and effective in one jurisdiction may be ineffective, non-compliant, or unlawful in another.

1.3 Relationship to Other Documents

This notice should be read together with the Platform Terms of Service (which governs liability and disputes), the E-Sign Consent & Disclosure (which governs electronic execution of documents, including Templates), and the Fair Housing & Screening Compliance Statement (which governs the content of tenant-facing documents and communications). In case of conflict regarding liability or remedies, the Platform Terms of Service controls.

2. Not Legal Advice / No Attorney-Client Relationship

The single most important thing to understand about the Templates: they are documents, not advice. This section makes the limits explicit.

2.1 Tentunit Is Not a Law Firm

Tentunit, Inc. is a software company. It is not a law firm, is not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction, and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation. No Tentunit employee, support agent, AI feature, or documentation communicates legal advice to you, even when discussing Templates or their use.

2.2 Templates Are Informational Samples

Templates are informational sample documents illustrating the general form such documents commonly take. Providing, recommending, pre-filling, or auto-populating a Template — including through platform automations or AI-assisted features — is not a representation that the Template is appropriate, sufficient, or lawful for your transaction or jurisdiction. AI-assisted completion or customization of a Template is an assistive draft requiring human review.

2.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship

Your use of the Templates, the platform, or any related support does not create an attorney-client relationship between you (or your tenants) and Tentunit or any of its personnel. Communications with Tentunit about Templates are not privileged.

2.4 Consult a Licensed Attorney

For any document with legal consequences — leases, termination and eviction notices, security deposit accountings, statutory disclosures, and similar instruments — you should consult a licensed attorney in the jurisdiction where the property is located before relying on a Template, and whenever the stakes of getting it wrong are material.

3. Jurisdiction Variation Warning

Landlord-tenant law is intensely local, and the details that vary are exactly the details that determine whether a notice is effective. This section gives concrete examples of the kind of variation you must check for — the examples are illustrative, not exhaustive.

3.1 Notice Periods Differ by Jurisdiction

Pay-or-quit notices: the number of days a tenant must be given to pay overdue rent or vacate differs by state, and in some places by city; using a day count from the wrong jurisdiction can render the notice void.
Entry notices: the advance notice (in hours or days) a landlord must give before entering an occupied unit, the permitted hours of entry, and the permissible purposes of entry vary by jurisdiction.
Rent-increase notices: the required advance notice period for a rent increase varies by jurisdiction and often by the size of the increase or the length of the tenancy, and rent-control or rent-stabilization ordinances may cap increases entirely.
Lease termination and non-renewal notices: required periods and permissible grounds vary, and some jurisdictions require “just cause.”

3.2 Mandatory Disclosures

Some disclosures are federally mandated regardless of state: for example, under EPA and HUD rules, landlords of most housing built before 1978 must provide the lead-based paint disclosure and the EPA-approved information pamphlet before the tenant is obligated under the lease. States and localities add further mandatory disclosures (examples in various places include mold, bed bugs, flood risk, radon, deposit-holding details, and smoke/carbon-monoxide device information). A Template can only be effective if every disclosure your jurisdiction mandates is actually provided, in the required form and at the required time.

3.3 Form, Content & Service Requirements

Jurisdictions differ on required font sizes, mandatory statutory language, translation requirements, signature and notarization formalities, and — critically — how a notice must be served (personal delivery, substituted service, posting, certified mail, or combinations). Serving a non-compliant notice, or serving a compliant notice in a non-compliant way, can void an eviction proceeding, force you to restart statutory clocks, or expose you to statutory penalties, fee-shifting, or tenant claims. See the E-Sign Consent & Disclosure regarding documents and notices that may not be validly signed or served electronically.

3.4 Law Changes

Landlord-tenant law changes frequently. A Template that was adequate when published (or when you last used it) may be non-compliant today. You must verify currency at each use, not just the first.

4. Customer Responsibilities

Because Templates are general-purpose, the compliance burden sits with you. By using any Template, you agree to the following responsibilities.

4.1 Verify Before Use

Before using any Template, you will verify it against the current law of the jurisdiction where the property is located — including state statutes, local ordinances, and any applicable rent regulation — and modify it (or decline to use it) as that law requires, obtaining legal advice where appropriate.

4.2 Complete All Placeholders

You are responsible for accurately completing every placeholder, blank, bracket, and optional clause in a Template before execution or service. An incomplete or incorrectly completed Template — a wrong date, a missing amount, an unfilled statutory field — may be ineffective or unenforceable, whether completed manually or via platform auto-fill.

4.3 Retain Proof of Service & Execution

Where a document must be delivered or served, you are responsible for serving it in the legally required manner and for retaining proof of service (and proof of execution for signed documents). Platform delivery logs and e-sign audit trails may assist, but they do not by themselves establish legally sufficient service where the law prescribes a specific method.

4.4 Provide Federally Required Disclosures

You are responsible for ensuring that all federally required disclosures — including the lead-based paint disclosure and pamphlet for pre-1978 housing — and all state and local mandatory disclosures are provided to tenants in the required form and sequence, regardless of whether a corresponding Template exists in the library.

4.5 Fair Housing Compliance

Any Template you customize or complete must comply with the Fair Housing & Screening Compliance Statement; you must not add discriminatory terms, criteria, or language to any Template.

5. No Warranty & Liability

This section states the legal terms on which the Templates are provided. It is deliberately blunt.

5.1 AS-IS Provision

TEMPLATES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TENTUNIT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING THE TEMPLATES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF LEGAL SUFFICIENCY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM TENTUNIT CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE PLATFORM TERMS OF SERVICE.

5.2 Limitation of Liability

Tentunit’s liability arising out of or relating to the Templates is limited as set out in the Platform Terms of Service, including its exclusion of indirect and consequential damages and its aggregate liability cap of the greater of the subscription fees you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim or $100. Losses arising from a defective, outdated, or jurisdiction-inappropriate Template — including a failed eviction, statutory penalties, or tenant claims — are your responsibility where they result from use of a Template without the verification this notice requires.

5.3 Updates, Removal & Versioning

Tentunit may add, update, correct, or remove Templates at any time, with or without notice, including where we learn a Template may be problematic in some jurisdictions. An update to a Template does not amend, correct, or affect any document you already executed, served, or delivered using an earlier version; you are responsible for deciding whether an updated Template warrants action on existing documents, with legal advice as appropriate.

5.4 EU/UK Consumers

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and mandatory rights of consumers in the EU and UK are preserved as described in the Platform Terms of Service. Tentunit Business is a business-to-business service, and Customers use Templates in the course of business.

6. Feedback & Corrections

Templates get better when Customers tell us what is wrong. This section explains how to report issues and how versions are tracked.

6.1 Reporting Errors

If you believe a Template contains an error, is outdated, or conflicts with the law of a jurisdiction, please report it to [email protected], identifying the Template, its version stamp, the jurisdiction, and the issue. We review reports promptly; reporting does not obligate Tentunit to change a Template, and a pending report does not suspend your verification responsibilities under Section 4.

6.2 Version Stamps

Each Template carries a version stamp (a version identifier and/or last-updated date). Check the version stamp before each use, and record the version you used in your files so you can later establish which form you relied on. Feedback you submit about Templates may be used to improve the library as described in the Platform Terms of Service.
