Published: October 24, 2025 | Category: Product Updates | Reading Time: 3 min

We're excited to announce two powerful new calculators to help landlords and tenants navigate state-specific rental regulations with confidence.

What's New?

1. Grace Period Calculator

Never miss the grace period deadline again. Our new Grace Period Calculator shows you:

• State-specific grace periods for all 51 jurisdictions
• Exact deadline dates based on when rent is due
• Legal compliance verification with statute citations
• Automatic warnings when charging fees too early

Why It Matters

Many landlords unknowingly charge late fees during mandatory grace periods, which can:

• Make late fee clauses unenforceable
• Lead to tenant disputes and bad reviews
• Create legal liability in states with strict tenant protection laws
• Result in having to refund improperly charged fees

States like Maine (15 days), Nevada (5 days), and Oregon (4 days) have specific grace period requirements. Our calculator ensures you stay compliant.

2. Security Deposit Refund Calculator

Know exactly when you need to return security deposits. This calculator provides:

• State-specific refund deadlines (ranging from 14-60 days)
• Countdown timer to track your compliance deadline
• Legal citations for each state's security deposit laws
• Best practices for itemized deductions and documentation

Why It Matters

Failing to return security deposits on time can result in:

• Double or triple damages in many states
• Losing your right to make deductions
• Legal penalties and attorney fee awards to tenants
• Damage to your reputation as a landlord

States like Alaska (14 days), Mississippi (45 days), and North Dakota (30 days) have different requirements. Our calculator keeps you on track.
