§03 · The method

Five checks run before Qyst answers.

Every question passes through the same pipeline, so the answer arrives classified, cited and confidence-scored.

  1. 01

    Classify the legal area

    Employment, rent, family, commercial — the question is routed before a word is written.

  2. 02

    Detect risk and urgency

    Deadlines, prescription periods and high-stakes matters are flagged at intake.

  3. 03

    Ask what's missing

    Qyst asks the clarifying questions a lawyer would ask, because the facts change the law.

  4. 04

    Retrieve and verify sources

    Primary Algerian texts come first, and every citation is checked against the corpus.

  5. 05

    Score its own confidence

    The answer carries a confidence level, and says so plainly when the ground is thin.

2 — Were you registered with social security (CNAS)?

§04 · The answer

Every answer has the same nine parts.

Qyst returns a document you can scan, question and act on — the short answer first, the law beneath it, and the next step at the end.

A“Mon propriétaire refuse de me rendre ma caution.”

01Short answer

Your deposit must be returned within a reasonable delay after you hand back the property — unless the landlord proves real, documented damage beyond normal wear.

02Legal areaRent & property · Medium risk
03Relevant Algerian sources
Art. 467 — Code civilVérifié

Obligations de restitution du locataire en fin de bail…

Art. 495 — Code civilVérifié

Responsabilité pour dégradations au-delà de l'usure normale…

04Plain language

A deposit is held as security. Once you return the keys in normal condition, withholding it requires written proof — photos, an inventory, or repair invoices.

05Missing facts
  • Was an entry inventory signed?
  • How much was the deposit?
  • Written request sent?
06Documents to prepare
  • Signed rental contract
  • Entry & exit inventory (état des lieux)
  • Proof of deposit payment
07Next steps

Send a formal written request, then create a case in Qyst to track the dispute and its deadlines.

08When to consult

If the landlord ignores a formal notice, a lawyer or the local court is the next step.

09Disclaimer

Legal information, not legal advice. Outcomes depend on the facts and a qualified review.

§05 · Confidence

Qyst tells you how sure it is — and when it isn't.

The dangerous answer is the confident wrong one. Every response carries a confidence level, the exact texts behind it, and a plain warning when the ground is thin.

High90–100%

A direct article was found and the answer stands on primary sources.

Medium60–89%

A relevant source exists, and your facts are incomplete or the source is indirect.

Low< 60%

Direct sources are weak or absent — the answer stays general, and Qyst says so, plainly.

§06 · The workspace

From a messy chat to a lawyer-ready file.

Any conversation becomes a structured matter. Qyst extracts the facts, builds a timeline, tracks your documents, and assembles a brief a lawyer can use.
