What AI flags in your Lease Agreement

Every flag sits on the exact clause it refers to, with a plain-English reason and a suggested revision.

💸

Rent & escalations

Flags hidden annual increases, CAM/operating-cost pass-throughs, and ambiguous base-rent definitions.

🔚

Term & auto-renewal

Surfaces auto-renewal traps and short renewal-notice windows that can lock you in unintentionally.

🛠️

Maintenance & repairs

Checks who is responsible for structural vs day-to-day repairs and flags shifted landlord duties.

🔒

Deposit & exit

Highlights onerous return conditions, itemised deductions, and notice requirements to get your deposit back.

🚪

Early termination

Flags steep penalties, subletting bans, and assignment-consent requirements that limit flexibility.

📋

Use restrictions

Surfaces permitted-use limits, alteration consent, and exclusivity clauses that affect how you use the space.

Clause examples and suggested edits

Synthetic examples showing what a finding looks like on this contract type — the flagged clause, why it is flagged, and a suggested revision. Examples are constructed for illustration, not taken from real engagements.

Tenant shall be responsible for all repairs and maintenance, including structural repairs.

Issue: Structural maintenance is normally the landlord’s obligation; shifting it entirely to the tenant is a common dispute source.

Suggested edit: Split responsibilities: structural and common-area maintenance to the landlord; wear-and-tear and minor in-unit repairs to the tenant, with a response-time clause.

The security deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances.

Issue: Blanket non-refundability removes the incentive to maintain the property and is often challenged.

Suggested edit: Make the deposit refundable, with an itemized deduction list (unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear) and a return deadline after move-out inspection.

Whose perspective are you reviewing from?

As landlord, you want payment security, property-condition protection and a clean exit. As tenant, you want habitability, renewal options and a deposit that comes back on defined conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI review both commercial and residential leases?

Yes. Upload either; AI adapts its checklist — commercial leases get CAM-charge and exclusivity checks, residential leases get deposit and habitability checks.

What are common hidden lease traps?

Auto-renewal with a short notice window, vague CAM/operating-cost pass-throughs, shifted repair duties, and strict exit conditions that cost your deposit. AI flags each with the exact clause.

Does it catch auto-renewal clauses?

Yes. AI finds renewal language and the notice deadline you must meet, then explains the consequence of missing it.

Is my lease document kept private?

Your PDF is uploaded to PDFnoted's server so the workspace can open it, and is deleted automatically after 1 hour. For AI Review, the text is extracted in your browser and only the extracted text (up to 60,000 characters) is sent to our server and AI model provider — not the original file. Basic PDF operations run locally in your browser.

Does AI replace a lawyer for lease review?

No. It is a first-pass review aid that explains risky clauses plainly so you can negotiate; for binding advice, confirm with a qualified attorney.
