stale_data
Jurisdiction-specific legal-notice requirements, grace-period definitions, court timing,
and statutory cure periods drift and are governed by overlays. Dollar thresholds for
write-off and legal escalation live in org overlays, not in this pack. Payment-plan
terms (max length, minimum down, cap per unit) are overlay-driven. Nothing in this pack
constitutes legal advice; every legal-notice action passes through a gate and a
jurisdiction-specific overlay.

Delinquency and Collections
Workflow purpose
Move residents through a documented aging-and-resolution pipeline with zero guesswork about what the next permissible action is, under the governing jurisdiction's rules and the operator's policy overlay. Every transition that could become a legal action opens an approval_request at the correct row in the approval matrix. The workflow never sends notices, never files, never commits to a non-standard payment plan, and never writes off without a matching approved record. It does produce drafts, the structured cases, and the sensitivity math to make human decisions fast.
This pack is deliberately load-bearing. Collections discipline is one of the highest-leverage inputs to economic_occupancy, bad_debt_rate, noi_margin, and dscr. It is also the area most prone to fair-housing risk, so every stage carries an explicit guardrail.
Trigger conditions
Explicit: "weekly delinquency review", "delinquency by aging", "payment plan request for unit X", "what's the next step on case Y", "pre-legal case list", "bad-debt write-off candidates".
Implicit: ledger balance transitions an aging bucket; delinquency_rate_30plus week-over-week spike above overlay materiality; resident requests a payment plan; a case approaches the jurisdiction's cure-period deadline; write-off date approaches.
Recurring: weekly at property grain for the aging review; daily screen for cases crossing cure-period or court-deadline dates.

Required context
Asset_class, segment, form_factor, lifecycle_stage, management_mode, market, jurisdiction, role. Jurisdiction is required — the workflow refuses to propose any notice or filing action without a jurisdiction overlay. If the jurisdiction reference is missing, workflow opens a missing_docs entry and routes the case list without proposing legal-stage actions.
Process
Step 1. Pull cohorts and tag each case with stage.
Canonical stages (this is the overlay's playbook axis; stages map to the overlay's delinquency_playbook_middle_market.csv):
current — ledger balance zero or below the delinquency_threshold_dollars; case open only to track recent payment patterns.
1_7 — balance above threshold, 1–7 days past due. Most cases resolve themselves here; gentle reminder only.
8_30 — 8–30 days past due. Formal reminder, payment offer menu, payment-plan eligibility reviewed.
31_60 — 31–60 days past due. Pre-legal posture. Cure period warning if jurisdiction supports. Payment plan must be in place or pre-legal pathway is considered.
61_90 — 61–90 days past due. Legal-notice pathway becomes active under most jurisdictions.
91_plus — 91+ days past due. Filing window for most jurisdictions.
legal_notice — a legal notice has been served; case is in cure window.
communication_template_ref (path to the draft template).
legal_review_required flag.
No case advances autonomously past a gated row.
Step 3. Gated transitions — open approvals.
The following transitions always open an approval_request, regardless of dollar:
Any transition that would issue a legal notice (moving into legal_notice stage, or preparing one in 31_60 / 61_90 / 91_plus): opens approval_request row 1. The request names the jurisdiction, the cure-period deadline, the overlay playbook row, and the template reference. The workflow does not send the notice.
Any transition that would file for eviction (moving into eviction_filed): opens approval_request row 2. Requires legal counsel sign-off in addition to PM and regional.
Any proposed non-standard payment plan (outside the payment_plan_policy overlay: longer term, lower down, more frequent rescheduling, etc.): opens approval_request row 13.
Any proposed write-off at or above the org overlay's threshold: opens row 6 or row 7 depending on threshold band.
Any tenant dispute with legal exposure signal (retaliation claim, fair-housing complaint, reasonable-accommodation / reasonable-modification dispute): opens approval_request row 3; resident-facing response draft is not produced without counsel sign-off.
Any action without a matching approved record refuses to execute. This is a hard guardrail.
Step 4. Stage-by-stage playbook (canonical).
The workflow references the overlay's playbook; this section describes the canonical skeleton that overlays customize. Overlays may tighten (faster escalation, more conservative write-off) but may not loosen below the floor described here.
current. No action required. If a resident shows repeated late-in-cycle payments (late in-month but never over 1–7 days), the workflow notes a pattern flag for the PM, informational only.
1_7. Informational reminder draft. Template draft_for_review. No approval gate. No fair-housing scan beyond routine. The goal is self-cure.
8_30.
Formal reminder draft (portal + email).
Payment-offer menu: full pay, split pay (inside policy), ledger-hold for short window (inside policy).
Payment-plan eligibility evaluation: if request is insidepayment_plan_policy, no approval gate; the workflow draft-produces the plan for PM confirmation. If request is outside policy, opens approval_request row 13.
Auto-payment prompt if failed auto-pay is the cause.
Fair-housing guardrail: sort by category (unit type, building, resident tenure) and compare action distributions to baseline. Statistically meaningful disparity opens a human-review flag (not autonomous action).
31_60.
Pre-legal posture. The draft communication now includes overlay-approved escalation language and the cure-period heads-up if jurisdiction requires. Template carries legal_review_required banner.
If payment plan is in place and in compliance, keep on plan; no escalation.
If no payment plan or plan in default, proposed action is to prepare a legal-notice draft; that proposal opens approval_request row 1.
Fair-housing guardrail: same disparity scan. Any statistically meaningful disparity routes to regional_manager before any legal-stage draft is opened.
61_90.
Legal-notice pathway active under most jurisdictions. The workflow prepares the legal notice draft per the overlay's template. Every legal notice has a legal_review_required banner. The notice is never sent; it opens approval_request row 1 with the cure-period deadline attached.
If jurisdiction requires a specific form (e.g., pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit), the overlay's template library is consulted; if the overlay does not cover the jurisdiction, the workflow refuses the legal draft and opens a missing_docs ticket. It still produces the informational memo for the PM.
Payment plan, if any, is reassessed: missed installments move the plan to default, which triggers the 31_60 -> 61_90 path above.
91_plus.
Filing pathway active. The workflow prepares an eviction-filing draft per the jurisdiction overlay and opens approval_request row 2. Requires legal counsel sign-off.
Alternative path: if a qualifying workout or payment plan is now in play (overlay allows this to suspend filing), filing preparation is held but row 2 approval is still opened in parallel with a hold note.
Any resident who raises a legal defense (retaliation, habitability, fair housing, reasonable accommodation) triggers approval_request row 3; filing holds pending legal direction.
legal_notice.
Case is in cure window. The workflow tracks the cure deadline from the jurisdiction overlay and prepares a cure-verification action for the deadline date.
Payments received during cure window are applied per overlay rules (full cure vs. partial cure vs. payment-plan-initiated cure).
eviction_filed.
Case is in court process. The workflow maintains the case record, tracks hearing dates, and prepares a post-judgment decision brief with scenarios (judgment + payment, judgment + move-out, vacated / dismissed).
No resident-facing communication is produced without legal direction.
judgment.
Post-judgment branch:
Favorable, payment plan proposed: the workflow prepares a proposed plan per the overlay's post-judgment policy; opens row 13 if the plan is outside overlay.
Favorable, move-out ordered: hands off to workflows/move_out_administration and updates the rent roll; opens the turn project via workflows/unit_turn_make_ready.
Adverse / vacated / dismissed: closes the legal stage; case may return to earlier stages for non-legal workout or may move to write_off per overlay.
write_off.
Recognizes the balance as bad debt per overlay write-off rules. Opens approval_request row 6 or row 7 depending on threshold band. Produces the GL journal draft draft_for_review.
Step 5. Fair-housing guardrails at every stage.
At every stage the workflow:
Never records, infers, or uses a protected-class attribute in any recommendation. The Fair Housing Act superset is the governing set; the guardrail treats source-of-income, age, marital status, lawful occupation, military status, and the full jurisdiction-specific set as protected.
Produces no communication with protected-class language; copy is scanned against the term list before any draft is finalized.
Runs a disparity scan on proposed actions by (aging bucket, unit cluster, tenure). Statistically meaningful disparity is an informational flag — never an autonomous action. Flagged cases route to regional_manager.
Refuses to propose differential enforcement (e.g., faster escalation for one set of cases than another) without an explicit, documented policy justification that is traceable to the overlay.
Escalates any reasonable-accommodation or reasonable-modification request immediately to human handling; does not route it through this playbook.
Step 6. Communication drafts and banners.
Every resident-facing draft is draft_for_review. Drafts that could constitute notice under the jurisdiction carry legal_review_required. Drafts never assert sample data as fact; if a ledger balance or amount owed is cited, the confidence banner surfaces the ledger's as_of timestamp and source.
Step 7. Weekly roll-up and portfolio view.
At the weekly cadence, the workflow produces:
Aging distribution (count + dollars) by bucket.
Week-over-week transitions (cases into and out of each bucket).
delinquency_rate_30plus, collections_rate, bad_debt_rate vs. bands and benchmarks.
Pattern flags: clusters by building / unit type / lease vintage.
Fair-housing disparity scan summary.
Gated-action queue: pending approvals, open cases, deadlines by date.
Anchors to economic_occupancy, notice_exposure, and noi_margin impact.
Step 8. Confidence banner.
Surface: jurisdiction overlay as_of_date, playbook as_of_date and status, ledger snapshot timestamp, and fair-housing baseline as_of_date. If any required reference is sample-tagged, the output says so.
Metrics used
delinquency_rate_30plus, collections_rate, bad_debt_rate, economic_occupancy, notice_exposure. Supporting but not primary: turnover_rate (post-judgment move-outs), average_days_vacant (collections-related turns).
reference/normalized/resident_comm_templates__{jurisdiction}/*.md (via reference; every template scoped to jurisdiction)
Escalation points
Any proposed transition into legal_notice or eviction_filed -> approval_request row 1 or 2.
Any proposed non-standard payment plan -> approval_request row 13.
Any write-off above threshold -> approval_request row 6 or 7.
Any dispute with legal exposure -> approval_request row 3.
Any missing jurisdiction overlay -> missing_docs ticket; workflow refuses to draft legal-stage actions.
Required approvals
legal_notice (row 1).
eviction_filing (row 2).
Non-standard payment plan (row 13).
Write-off at/above threshold (row 6 or 7).
Tenant dispute with legal exposure (row 3).
Failure modes
Drafting a legal notice for a jurisdiction without an overlay. Fix: overlay missing -> refuse the draft; open missing_docs.
Treating "delinquency" as a single rate. Fix: always report delinquency_rate_30plus plus aging distribution; bad debt separately.
Proposing differential enforcement by resident attribute. Fix: the fair-housing scan is mandatory every run; statistically meaningful disparity routes to regional before any enforcement escalation.
Sending a template that could constitute notice without legal review. Fix: legal_review_required banner is automatic for any stage 31_60 and beyond.
Processing a reasonable-accommodation / reasonable-modification request through this playbook. Fix: automatic handoff out of this workflow; humans only.
Applying a payment plan without ledger check. Fix: ledger snapshot timestamp must be within overlay freshness threshold; stale ledger refuses.
Silent write-off. Fix: every write-off opens an approval; GL journal is a draft until approved.
Using sample references as operating fact. Fix: confidence banner surfaces status tags; sample rows never authoritative.
Edge cases
First-of-month edge: auto-pay failures cluster on the 1st–3rd; the 1_7 stage shows a transient spike. Workflow notes the seasonality so the weekly review does not overreact.
Resident in bankruptcy: the workflow refuses to advance the case through any legal-stage transition; opens a bankruptcy_review flag and routes to legal counsel immediately. Communication drafts are held.
Military deployment (SCRA-protected resident): the workflow checks for an SCRA flag in the lease record; if present, legal-stage transitions are blocked and counsel is routed.
Reasonable accommodation pending: any open accommodation request suspends collections-stage transitions past 31_60 until resolved; counsel notified.
Partial cure during cure window: jurisdiction overlay governs; if overlay treats partial cure as non-cure, case advances. Workflow does not override overlay.
Resident disputes balance in writing: all communications default to draft_for_review; PM verifies ledger before any escalation.
TPM-managed property: the workflow drafts the owner-oversight view and the TPM-facing request; does not bypass the TPM.
Multiple residents on lease, one facing workout: ledger is joint; communications address the lease, not individual residents; fair-housing scan is conservative.

Aging distribution. Counts and dollars by stage (current, 1_7, 8_30, 31_60, 61_90, 91_plus, legal_notice, eviction_filed, judgment, write_off). Week-over-week movement into/out of each bucket. delinquency_rate_30plus within band; collections_rate within band; bad_debt_rate within band.
Case actions this week.
3 cases in 8_30. Two on in-policy payment plan (no gate). One auto-pay failure; reminder drafted draft_for_review.
2 cases in 31_60. One on compliant plan; hold. One plan in default; pre-legal draft prepared per overlay; approval_request row 1 opened with Charlotte jurisdiction overlay cure-period deadline attached.
1 case in 61_90. Legal notice draft per overlay template; legal_review_required banner; approval_request row 1 opened.
0 cases in 91_plus.
1 case in legal_notice (prior week). Cure-window tracker shows deadline in 6 days; cure-verification action queued.
Fair-housing scan. No term-list hits. Disparity scan across aging buckets vs. trailing 90-day baseline within tolerance. All ApprovalOutcome rows cite policy_ref.
Approvals opened this week. Row 1 x 2. Row 13 x 0. Row 6 x 2 (write-off below threshold; informational queue).
Metric impact. Pro-forma economic_occupancy improvement if all cases cure (dollar range), downside if all escalate (dollar range). Reported as sensitivity, not forecast.
Output — Single-case action brief (abridged, Unit 305, Willow Creek)
Case state. Stage 31_60. Balance above threshold for 44 days. No active payment plan. Resident contacted 7 days ago, no response.
Proposed next step. Open approval_request row 1 for jurisdiction pre-legal notice draft per overlay template. Notice not sent until approved. Cure-period deadline computed from jurisdiction overlay.
Alternative paths.
If resident responds with in-policy payment plan, hold the notice preparation; PM confirms plan.
If resident responds with off-policy request, open approval_request row 13 in parallel.
If resident raises a legal defense (retaliation, habitability, fair housing), stop the escalation and open approval_request row 3.
Fair-housing guardrail. Proposed action consistent with baseline; no disparity signal. No term-list hits in case notes.
