How it works
Upload your lease
Drop in a PDF or paste the text of your residential lease. Lease Lens reads the full document, not just the highlights.
We read every clause
Each section gets checked against common problem patterns — vague obligations, illegal terms, missing protections, silent auto-renewals.
Get plain-English fixes
For every flagged clause, you get an explanation of the risk and exact replacement language you can put in your next lease.
What we catch
Six problems hiding in most residential leases
These are not hypotheticals. They are the clauses tenant attorneys look for first.
Illegal fee structures
Late fees that exceed state caps, prohibited application charges, or pet deposits coded as non-refundable when state law says otherwise.
Missing termination terms
No notice period defined, no early termination clause, or automatic renewal language your tenant can use against you.
Vague maintenance splits
"All repairs" without a cost threshold or landlord backup obligation — a blank check handed to whoever argues harder.
Rent increase gaps
No minimum notice period before increases, or mid-lease increase language that courts in most states routinely void.
Security deposit problems
No stated return timeline, prohibited deduction categories, or missing itemization requirements under state tenancy law.
Unlawful entry provisions
Landlord access clauses granting entry without state-minimum notice, creating liability in any future dispute.
Built for independent landlords
Not property management companies. Not investors with legal teams. Landlords managing one to ten units on their own.
You wrote the lease yourself
A template from a Google search three years ago, never looked at since. There is a good chance something in it would not hold up.
You manage 1–10 units solo
You do not have an attorney on retainer, and $400 for a lease review every time you sign a new tenant is not realistic.
You have been here before
A tenant dispute taught you the hard way that vague language in a lease always gets read against the person who wrote it.
