How it works

01

Paste your lease

Copy the text from any PDF, email, or digital lease and paste it in. No upload, no account, no waiting.

02

We flag the fine print

Unusual clauses, surprise fees, and landlord-favorable terms get surfaced immediately with plain-English explanations.

03

Go in with your eyes open

Negotiate from knowledge, ask the right questions, or walk away from a deal that isn't worth your deposit.

Who it's for

If you've ever felt intimidated by a lease, this is for you.

Your first apartment

When you've never signed a lease before, every paragraph feels like a trap. We translate the legalese into decisions you can actually make.

Moving to a new city

Tenant laws vary wildly by state. What's standard in Austin can be predatory in New York. Know the local norms before you sign.

You've been burned before

The $400 carpet-cleaning fee you didn't see coming. The landlord who entered without notice. Those clauses are findable before you sign.

Don't sign another lease blind.
