be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 43 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per obligation: the duty, the instrument that creates it, the frequency it implies, the effective date, and - the distinction every contractor's marketing page blurs - whether it is law or an industry standard. The end-of-tenancy half is the one that changes a buying decision: a landlord may not REQUIRE a tenant to pay for professional cleaning, but may deduct for a property returned dirtier than it was let, so the guide opens on the deposit cap and the price index's median rather than on a scare", "embed": "
