FAQ
Can AI detect risky lease clauses?
It is strong for first-pass screening and hidden-fee detection, but critical clauses should still be validated against local tenant rules.
What should renters check first?
Start with renewal terms, penalties, maintenance liability, notice windows, and deposit conditions.
Is a lease scanner enough before signing?
For screening, often yes. For complex agreements or high financial exposure, legal review is recommended.
