30 days before your mortgage matures, if you haven't renewed your mortgage yet, we'll send an offer letter that goes over the terms and rates available to you
Inference logic
Re-verified mechanically: PASS on both regex tag-strip and html.parser visible-text extraction. Quote is from the on-page video transcript section; adversarial fetch confirmed surrounding transcript text ('we'll be in touch with you to let you know it's time. there's no need to reapply'). Every number and condition in fact_text is inside the quote.

TD sends a renewal offer letter 30 days before the mortgage matures if you have not renewed by then. The federal floor is a renewal statement at least 21 days before the end of the existing term.

Inference logic
Re-verified mechanically: PASS on both extraction methods. The 'closed' qualifier in fact_text is NOT inside the quote; it comes from the immediately preceding on-page sentence, which I mechanically verified as contiguous with the quote: 'use it to prepay a bit of your closed td mortgage and shrink the amount you owe, faster. make a lump sum payment of up to 15%...'. The page also states 'you can prepay as much as you like to reduce your principal if you have an open td mortgage', confirming the 15% cap applies only to closed mortgages, so the closed scoping is required for accuracy.

Inference logic
Re-verified mechanically: PASS as contiguous substring of normalized pdftotext output. Critical borrower-facing nuance confirmed verbatim in the same PDF: 'while the interest rate on the collateral charge may be different than the interest rate in the mla, you can only be charged interest based on the mla interest rate.' Any site copy citing this fact should carry that clarification. Downstream verification must use pdftotext, not HTML stripping.

Do not present portability as unconditional across all TD mortgage types on a YMYL page.

TD's stated default is a one-year open term, distinct from the 6-month convertible pattern at some other Big 6 lenders.

Inference logic
Re-verified mechanically: PASS on both extraction methods. The quote is a mid-sentence truncation; the clause 'the existing rate and term transfer for the existing principal' is the verified beginning of the SAME on-page sentence, mechanically confirmed as contiguous: 'if you need additional funds, your existing rate and term are transferred to your new mortgage for the existing principal amount, with any additional funds priced at current rates for the term closest to your remaining term.' The 'fixed-rate' and porting scoping is the mechanically verified preceding sentence: 'if you have a fixed rate mortgage, and you're moving to a new home, you may be able to port (or move) your existing mortgage terms without charge.' Note porting itself is conditional ('may be able to'); this fact describes the pricing mechanics when a port-with-increase occurs.

Inference logic
MECHANICAL PASS 2026-07-10. AMENDED: dropped 'for the specific allowed amounts' from fact_text — the quote ends at 'mortgage contract'. The live page does continue 'to find out: if your lender allows you to make prepayments... if there's a minimum or a maximum amount that you're allowed to prepay... what fees or penalties apply' (verified 2026-07-10), so the amounts point is true but sits outside the quote; extend the quote if that detail is needed on-page. Federal baseline stands: per-lender percentages must come from each lender's own pages.
Where in the article
Those are TD's numbers, not a federal entitlement. FCAC's baseline is that prepayment privileges vary from lender to lender and that the terms and conditions of your own contract govern. The marketing page summarizes; the contract decides.

MECHANICAL PASS 2026-07-10; the title-plus-metadata run is contiguous in tag-stripped visible text exactly as claimed (confirmed in context pull: '...portfolio lti limits information publication type letter category sound business and financial practices date november 21, 2024 sector banks...'). Quote contains the date and 'Letter' publication type, supporting 'guidance letter dated November 21, 2024'. Researcher's warning about the old ledger's non-contiguous editorial parenthetical is consistent with this.

MECHANICAL PASS 2026-07-10. 'Effective today' anchors to the letter date November 21, 2024 established by regulatory-013 on the same page. When citing on-site, always pair with regulatory-013 so the effective date is sourced; do not date the change from this quote alone.
