Don’t sign a lease until you read this.
Many leases contain clauses that are illegal in your state — but landlords include them anyway because most tenants don’t check. Upload your lease and we’ll flag the traps.

Frequently asked
Can my landlord put illegal clauses in my lease?+
Many do — and unenforceable clauses are extremely common. Examples include waivers of the warranty of habitability, blanket waivers of the right to sue, and provisions allowing entry without notice. An unenforceable clause is technically void, but tenants often comply with them out of ignorance. Our analyzer flags clauses that are commonly unenforceable.
What is "joint and several liability" and why does it matter?+
It means each roommate is individually responsible for the full rent — not just their share. If your roommate skips out, the landlord can sue you for 100% of the rent. Always check for this clause when signing with roommates.
How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit?+
Limits vary by state. Most states cap deposits at 1–2 months’ rent. Some require deposits be held in interest-bearing accounts and returned within a specific window (often 14–30 days) after move-out. Our analyzer flags deposit clauses that conflict with common state law patterns, but check your specific state.
Can a lease really require me to waive the right to a habitable home?+
No. The implied warranty of habitability cannot be waived in most U.S. jurisdictions. Any clause attempting to do so is void as a matter of public policy — but landlords still include them. We flag these aggressively.
