## FAQ

### How much does it cost to start an eviction case?

The platform fee is $29 when a case starts at the notice, and $70 more if it goes on to filing.

### Does the API provide legal advice?

No, Evictions API is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

### What happens if no attorney is engaged quickly?

If no attorney is engaged within 5 business days of submission, the platform fee is refunded in full.

### Can I test the API without using real legal processes?

Yes, you can use a free test key which works only with a fictional test state ZZ, ensuring nothing real is served or filed.
