Everything LeaseGuard AI Analyzes In Your Lease

Every U.S. state has tenant-protection laws. Our AI cross-references each clause in your lease against your state's current Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RLTA) and flags anything that may not be enforceable under those statutes.

• ✓Clauses that appear to waive habitability standards
• ✓"No pets, ever" clauses that may not align with Fair Housing accommodation requirements (service animals, ESAs)
• ✓Landlord entry clauses that fall short of state notice requirements
• ✓Security deposit amounts that exceed state caps
• ✓Clauses that may limit your access to legal remedies
• ✓Mandatory arbitration clauses (treatment varies significantly by state)

Hidden fees buried in lease addenda cost U.S. renters billions every year. Our Junk Fee Scanner identifies charges that may exceed state caps, duplicate other deposit coverage, or lack a clear legal basis — and explains each one in plain English.

• ✓"Administrative processing" fees stacked on security deposits
• ✓Move-in/move-out fees duplicating security deposit coverage
• ✓Mandatory "amenity" fees for services not actually rendered
• ✓Utility markup fees exceeding actual cost
• ✓Pet fees stacked with additional pet deposits and monthly pet rent
• ✓Late fee amounts that may exceed state limits or reasonableness standards

Not every aggressive clause crosses a legal line — but many can still put you at a real disadvantage if disputes come up later. Our AI flags language that is one-sided, vague, or commonly used to put tenants at risk.

• ✓Auto-renewal clauses with 60+ day notice requirements
• ✓Broad indemnification language shifting all liability to tenants
• ✓Excessive landlord entry rights beyond state minimums
• ✓Repair & deduct prohibition clauses
• ✓Lease termination penalties exceeding two months' rent
• ✓Vague "reasonable" language giving landlords unchecked authority

Landlord-tenant law varies dramatically by state. A clause unenforceable in California may be standard in Texas. Our database includes current statutory language from all 50 U.S. states.

• ✓Residential Landlord-Tenant Acts for all 50 states
• ✓Security deposit limits and return timelines by state
• ✓Legal notice periods for landlord entry
• ✓State-specific habitability standards
• ✓Eviction procedure rules and tenant protections
• ✓Rent control applicability and local ordinances (major metros)

Every flag comes with what you need to understand: what the clause says, why it raised a flag, which statute it references, and suggested next steps.

Spotting a flagged clause is only half the work. LeaseGuard AI generates plain-language email and conversation templates for every flag — ready to copy, edit, and send.
