Found a problem in your lease? Get it in writing.
Your report tells you what to ask. The Get It In Writing Toolkit turns any finding into a professional, ready-to-send letter — so a fee, a deposit, or a move-out charge becomes a written record instead of a conversation you can't prove happened.
The answer you get in person won't help you later
When something in your lease is unclear — a fee, a deposit, a utility charge — the easy thing is to ask in passing and move on. But a verbal "don't worry about it" disappears the moment there is a disagreement.
A written request, and a written answer, become a record you can point to — at renewal, at move-out, or any time the story suddenly changes. That record is the whole point. Get It In Writing turns a written request into a one-minute task — not an afternoon at the keyboard.
How it works
Start from a finding
Every Lease Risk Report flags issues worth clarifying. Pick the one you want to raise with your landlord.
We draft it in your words
Answer a couple of quick questions. LeaseCheck writes a complete, professional letter using your facts — your property, your unit, your specifics.
Send it and keep the record
Download it as a Word document or send it by email. That is the whole point — now it is in writing.
What you can put in writing
The toolkit covers the requests renters actually need — each one a renter-friendly template, filled in with your details:
Security deposit
Confirm the amount, any carry-forward on a renewal, and what can be deducted.
Utility billing
Ask how a shared or flat utility charge is calculated and where it is authorized.
Fee explanation
Find out what a fee covers and where it actually appears in your lease.
Renewal terms
Clarify what changed on renewal and what your new terms really are.
Move-out charges
Ask for a charge to be itemized and tied to the lease language behind it.
Addendum clarification
Understand what an addendum means and how it applies to you.
Repair / habitability
Put a repair request in writing, on the record, with a date.
Corrected lease facts
Ask to fix a wrong name, date, unit, or amount on your lease.
Signed copy of lease
Request a fully executed copy of your lease for your own records.
Firm on the facts, easy on the relationship
You still have to live there. Every letter LeaseCheck drafts asks your landlord to confirm or explain things in writing — calmly and specifically. It reads like a reasonable tenant keeping good records, because that is exactly what it is.
You get the documentation without turning a question into a fight.

For clarity, please confirm the following in writing:
1. What this $45 monthly charge covers, and how it is calculated.
2. Where in my lease or any addendum this charge is authorized.

Common questions
Is this legal advice? +
No. Get It In Writing helps you ask clear questions and keep good records. It does not give legal advice or act on your behalf. When a clause needs a legal opinion, we recommend a licensed attorney.
Do I send the letter myself? +
Yes — you stay in control. LeaseCheck drafts it; you review it, edit anything in brackets, and send it when you are ready.
Can one letter cover more than one issue? +
Yes. A single letter can raise several related issues, each written as its own clear, numbered request.
What format do I get? +
A Word (.docx) document you can edit and print, with the option to send it by email.
