For tenants & landlords
Review a lease agreement
Spot the risky clauses in a rental or commercial lease before you sign: auto-renewal traps, repair liability, deposit terms, and exit penalties, in plain English.
Red flags to look for
Automatic renewal with a long notice window
Many leases renew automatically unless you cancel 60 to 90 days before the end. Miss the window and you are locked in for another term.
Repair and maintenance shifted to the tenant
Watch for clauses making you responsible for structural repairs, HVAC, or 'all maintenance' rather than just damage you cause.
Vague deposit deductions
Open-ended 'cleaning and restoration' deductions let a landlord keep more of your deposit than normal wear and tear should allow.
Early-termination penalties
Some leases charge several months' rent to break early. Know the number before you sign, not when life changes.
