Which states and cities Seayora covers — and why the rest publish nothing

Seayora holds statute-cited eviction procedure for 22 jurisdictions and 6 cities. Everywhere else gets a generic outline with no day counts at all, flagged for review — because a plausible-looking deadline is worse than an admitted gap.

Seayora publishes an eviction process only where it holds a real statute for it. As of 2026-09-07 that is 22 jurisdictions at state level, with city rules layered on top in 6 places.

What happens everywhere else

A state Seayora has not verified gets a generic outline of the phases every eviction goes through — and no day counts anywhere on it. No notice period, no answer period, no computed dates. The case is flagged for review, and every screen says the jurisdiction is unverified.

That is the point. Filling in “14 days” because most states say fourteen would produce a case that looks complete, reads as authoritative, and is wrong in a way nobody would catch until a court did. The same rule governs Seayora’s public rules library: where there is no statute, there is no page.

What “verified” covers, field by field

Verification is per step and per field, not per state. A jurisdiction can carry a verified notice period and no verified answer period, and the case will show the first with a date and the second without one. New York, for example, publishes a filing fee and a full step sequence and does not publish a fixed answer period, because the period depends on how the petition was served.

Cities are layered, not substituted

Where a city rule exists, its steps are inserted into the state sequence at the right phase. Philadelphia’s mandatory diversion program is a step before filing, not a replacement for Pennsylvania’s notice requirements. Seattle’s just-cause rules sit inside Washington’s process. A city that required its own complete process would be a different product.

Corrections

Every rule carries the statute it came from and the date it was checked. An operator can override a rule, and an override is never overwritten by a later seed — so a correction sticks. If you believe a figure here is wrong, the citation is printed so you can check it, and telling us is genuinely useful.

Frequently asked questions

Does Seayora cover eviction rules for my state?

Seayora holds statute-cited eviction procedure for 22 jurisdictions: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington. City rules are layered on top in 6 places. Any other state gets a generic outline of the phases with no day counts at all, flagged as unverified.

Why does my state show no deadlines?

Because Seayora holds no verified statute for it. Rather than publish the customary figure and let it read as law, the case carries the phases with no day counts anywhere and says the jurisdiction is unverified. A plausible-looking deadline that nobody passed is the failure this design exists to prevent.

Does Seayora cover city eviction rules as well as state ones?

In 6 places: Chicago, City of Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle. Where a city rule is held, its steps are inserted into the state sequence at the right phase — city requirements sit on top of state law rather than replacing it.

How current are the eviction rules?

Every rule carries the statute it was read from and the date it was checked, both printed on the case. Law changes, so the citation is there for you to verify rather than to be trusted — and an operator correction overrides the seed permanently.

Related features and guides

• Eviction navigation — what Seayora does, and the four things it will never do — Documentation. Seayora navigates an eviction: the steps your state and city require, in order, each with the statute behind it, the deadline it sets and a link to the real court. It does not file, serve, evict, or give legal advice — here is exactly where that line sits and why it is drawn there.
• How the steps and deadlines work — and why some steps deliberately have no date — Documentation. Every step on a Seayora eviction case carries the statute behind it, whether it blocks the steps after it, and where its deadline comes from — statutory, set by the court, set by your lease, or an estimate. A step Seayora has not verified gets no due date at all, on purpose.
• The rules library — what Seayora publishes, and what it deliberately does not — Documentation. How Seayora’s statute-cited landlord, tenant and contractor rules work: where each figure comes from, how to filter them by any set of states and topics, how to compare states side by side, and why a state you expect to see is sometimes missing on purpose.
• Compliance Alerts & Required Filings — Feature. Seayora watches your properties for new violations and works out which recurring filings each building owes, turns both into a dated checklist, and emails you when something new appears. Live violation data for New York City; rule-based filing obligations across the NYC metro.
• NYC Compliance Tracking — Feature. Track New York City property compliance requirements and deadlines alongside the rest of your portfolio operations.
• Message Threads, Drafts & History — Feature. Threaded conversations with unread counts, drafts, read state, archiving, and a permanent history tied to the listing, lease, or job it concerns.
