About

はず is a noun that means "should" or "bound to". It is often used to express that the speaker is fairly certain about something but not 100% sure.

はず can directly attach to verbs and い-adjectives, but requires な to attach to な-adjectives and の to attach to nouns.

How certain はず sounds varies greatly based upon how it is said. はず can be followed by です in polite situations, or だ/nothing at all in casual ones.
