Contract Lily

Give a review the facts it asked for when its status was needs-answers, each under the key of its question, then carry on waiting for the review. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD, and territory is where the home is, or where the user mainly works: GB-ENG for England, GB-WLS for Wales, GB-SCT for Scotland or GB-NIR for Northern Ireland. Use only what the user says: never guess an answer.

Work out the most a landlord or agent can ask for as a tenancy deposit and a holding deposit, from the rent, in any UK nation, and optionally check a deposit the user was asked for. England limits both; Wales limits the holding deposit; Scotland and Northern Ireland limit the tenancy deposit.

Work out the statutory minimum paid holiday a year, in days, for a worker who works a set number of days a week, in any UK nation: 5.6 weeks, at most 28 days, which may include bank holidays.

Check whether an hourly rate of pay meets the UK minimum wage for the worker’s age, and apprenticeship, on a date from 1 April 2024, and give the rate that applies.

Check a landlord's rent increase notice, given from 1 April 2025, for a private tenancy in Northern Ireland other than a controlled tenancy (do not use it for a controlled tenancy, which has different rules): whether it is in writing, whether the new rent starts at least three months after the notice is given, and whether it comes at least 12 months after the tenancy began and the last increase; and when the new rent can start. Northern Ireland only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.

Work out the least notice that ends a periodic private tenancy, and the earliest end date it can name, in any UK nation, whether the tenant or the landlord gives it. It also says when a landlord cannot end the tenancy by notice at all (England) or must apply to a tribunal (Scotland).

Check a section 13 rent increase notice for an assured periodic tenancy in England, served from 1 May 2026: whether the new rent's start date meets each date rule and the notice is on the prescribed form, and the earliest the new rent could start. England only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.

Check a landlord's rent-increase notice for a private residential tenancy in Scotland, outside a rent control area: whether it gives at least three months' notice, whether the rent has already gone up in the 12 months before, and whether it is on the prescribed form; when the new rent can start, and the last day to refer it to a rent officer. Scotland only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.

Work out the least notice the law requires to end employment in any UK nation, from the employer and from the employee, from the start date and the day notice is given. A contract can require more notice, never less.

Check a landlord's notice of a new rent for a periodic standard occupation contract in Wales: whether the new rent starts at least two months after the notice is given, whether it comes at least a year after the last increase, and whether it is on form RHW12; and the earliest the new rent can start. Wales only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.

Erase a review for good: the document, its text, the answers and the report. Use it when the user asks. Otherwise a review is erased 30 days after it starts.

See how a review is going, waiting up to about 25 seconds for news. Keep calling it while the status is checking or reviewing. When finished, it gives the verdict, each finding's title and severity, and a link to the full PDF to give the user. When the status is needs-answers, ask the user its questions and call answer_contract_review_questions.

Get the link to a full Contract Lily review of a UK employment contract, offer letter or written statement, and what it covers: whether employment reviews are open, the nations, what the report includes, the files it accepts and the price.

Send a whole UK tenancy agreement or employment document to Contract Lily for a full review, with the user's agreement to send it. Pass the attached file, or else the document's complete text, word for word; a summary or excerpt gives a wrong review. It returns a reviewId for get_contract_review. The review reads the document against UK law and returns a verdict, findings and a PDF report. Results are recommendations, not legal advice.
