Upload your lease (PDF or photos) and get a plain-English breakdown in under a minute. The AI flags the clauses landlords most often slip past tenants: automatic renewals, joint-and-several liability, "early termination" fees that aren't actually allowed in your state, mandatory arbitration, security-deposit deductions that don't match statute, late-fee schedules that exceed the legal cap, and clauses that waive rights tenants can't actually waive. Works on the standard residential leases used nationwide.
Every flagged clause gets three things: what it says in plain English, what it actually means for you as a renter, and the rule that applies (state landlord-tenant statute, fair-housing regulations, consumer-protection rules). Where a clause looks unenforceable under your state's law, the report says so directly — no hedging. Where a clause is enforceable but unusual, you'll see a suggested negotiation ask you can take back to the landlord before you sign.
For a standard one-year residential lease, the AI breakdown is usually all you need to make an informed decision. For commercial leases, lease-to-own arrangements, multi-year terms, or any lease where the deposit and rent total more than a few thousand dollars, have a licensed attorney review the final document. You can read our landlord-tenant overview, download a free tenant-rights PDF guide for your state, or find a partner attorney who handles real-estate matters.
