Signing a New Lease? Check the Terms Before You Commit.

A new lease is easy to skim and hard to compare. LeaseCheck turns yours into a plain-English risk report so you know what you're agreeing to before you sign.

A new lease is hard to compare on your own

Leases are long, dense, and written for property managers. The base rent is easy to find — but fees beyond rent, addenda, deposit terms, and move-out liability are where renters get surprised. LeaseCheck reads the whole lease and tells you, in plain English, which parts deserve a closer look before you commit.

What LeaseCheck checks here

  • ✓ Fees beyond base rent (admin, trash, pest, parking, amenity)
  • ✓ Addenda and the obligations hidden inside them
  • ✓ Security deposit amount and return terms
  • ✓ Utility billing method and allocation
  • ✓ Late fee structure and interest language
  • ✓ Move-out notice requirements and liability

Example findings

Rent vs. Total Monthly Payment

Review risk

The base rent is one number, but admin fees, utility allocation, and recurring add-ons can raise your real monthly cost. Worth knowing before you budget around the wrong figure.

Question to ask:

What is the full estimated monthly payment including every recurring fee and utility charge?

Addendum Obligations

Watch risk

Addenda can add rules and fees that are not in the main lease body — pet policies, amenity charges, or maintenance responsibilities. They are easy to miss.

Question to ask:

Can you list every addendum that is part of this lease and summarize what each one requires of me?

Frequently asked questions

I already read the lease. Why use LeaseCheck? +

You should read it — and you should. LeaseCheck helps you spot the parts renters often miss: fee language, deposit accounting, utility billing, and clauses worth clarifying in writing.

Will this tell me if the lease is fair? +

It will not make a legal judgment. It flags what may deserve a closer look and gives you questions to ask, so you can decide with better information.

Can I use it before I get the final copy? +

Yes. Reviewing a draft or the version you have been sent is exactly when this is most useful — before you sign.
