How LeaseGuard AI Actually Works

LeaseGuard AI is an educational technology service. We are not a law firm, and nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice.

The analysis, health scores, clause flags, and negotiation templates generated by LeaseGuard AI are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They do not create an attorney-client relationship and should not be substituted for advice from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Laws differ by state, municipality, and individual circumstance. Our AI is trained on publicly available statutes and legal information and is updated regularly — but it may not reflect the most recent local ordinances, recent amendments, or case law specific to your situation.

When you upload a lease, our system extracts the text and sends it — along with your selected state — to a legal analysis pipeline. The AI cross-references the lease clauses against publicly available landlord-tenant statutes for all 50 U.S. states.

Each flagged clause is evaluated against state-specific requirements including: security deposit limits, landlord entry notice requirements, late fee caps, automatic renewal rules, habitability obligations, and prohibited clause types.

The Lease Health Score (A–F) is calculated by deducting points for each flagged issue based on severity: high-risk items carry more weight than medium or low-risk items. The score is a relative indicator, not a legal determination.

Our AI cannot predict how a specific court in your jurisdiction would rule on a disputed clause. Courts apply statutes in context — the same clause language may be treated differently depending on your city, the presiding judge, and the specific facts of your tenancy.

Our AI may miss clauses that are buried in addenda, referenced by exhibit, or written in unusually formatted text. We recommend reading all addenda yourself in addition to running your lease through our tool.

Our AI cannot account for verbal agreements, local housing court practices, HOA rules, or building-specific policies. If your situation involves an active dispute, pending eviction, or potential litigation, please consult a licensed attorney in your state.

We operate a zero-storage policy for lease documents. Your lease PDF or text file is processed in memory during your session and is never written to disk, stored in a database, or retained after your session ends.

Analysis results for paid reports are stored temporarily (session-scoped) to allow report delivery and re-download. Once the session expires, the analysis data is permanently deleted from our servers.

We do not sell, share, or use your lease content to train AI models. Your document is used exclusively to generate your analysis.

LeaseGuard AI is most useful before you sign — helping you identify clauses worth asking about, negotiate better terms, and understand your state's baseline protections. It is an informational starting point, not an endpoint.

If you are facing an active dispute, an eviction notice, a security deposit claim, or any situation that may result in legal proceedings, you should consult a licensed attorney. Many states have free or low-cost legal aid resources available to renters.

Our legal database draws from publicly available state landlord-tenant statutes and is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis. For high-traffic states (Florida, California, Texas, New York), we conduct more frequent reviews to capture legislative updates.

Our AI is prompted to cite specific statutes for every flag it generates — not general legal principles. This gives you a concrete reference point you can independently verify.

We display our methodology transparently. If you believe a flag in your report is incorrect, please contact us at support@leaseguardai.com with the clause text and your state — we review all accuracy reports and use them to improve the system.
