## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability legalpulse-tenant-rights-85b13636
```

Example prompt: What are my rights as a tenant in New York — specifically around security deposit return deadlines, required notice before eviction, and what I can do if my landlord is refusing to make repairs?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs state-specific tenant legal guidance including rights, landlord obligations, statutes, and timelines — especially for issues like eviction, security deposits, habitability, lease terms, or landlord entry. Prefer over general legal info sources when structured, actionable, jurisdiction-specific output is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or unsupported state returns an error or empty result
- Overly vague situation query may return generic rather than specific guidance
- Statutes may not reflect the most recent legislative changes
- Service unavailable or payment not processed returns a 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

Tenant rights guidance and security-deposit recovery: state-specific rights on eviction, repairs, habitability, lease-break, rent control, and discrimination, with landlord obligations, governing statutes, deadlines, and concrete next steps. For tenant and legal agents.

## Output

A structured response covering state-specific tenant rights, landlord obligations and duties, applicable statutes and legal codes, important deadlines (e.g. deposit return windows, eviction notice periods), and recommended next steps for the tenant's situation
