Decode any lease before you sign
Renting? Drop your lease PDF and ask about deposits, late fees, renewal terms, and pet clauses — answers cite the exact paragraph.
The lease your landlord just emailed you is 25 pages of legalese, and you have until tomorrow to decide. You shouldn't be guessing about the deposit refund clause.
The problem
Renters sign things they haven't really read. Once you do read it, the questions you actually care about — can they raise rent mid-term? do I get my deposit back? what if I break the lease early? — are split across "Term," "Deposit," "Default," and "Miscellaneous." Generic AI tools paraphrase the lease, which is exactly the wrong move. You need the literal language the landlord can hold you to.
How SeekFiles AI helps
- Cites the exact paragraph behind every answer.
- Extracts numbers correctly — deposit amount, late-fee percentage, notice period — even from scanned/photographed leases.
- Handles dual-language leases without you switching modes.
- Refuses to guess when the lease is silent — flagging that you should ask the landlord directly.
Questions to ask your lease
- What is the security deposit? When is it returned and under what conditions?
- What's the late-payment fee and grace period?
- Can the landlord enter without notice? Under what circumstances?
- Is there an autorenewal or month-to-month conversion at the end of the term?
- What happens if I break the lease early?
- Are pets / subletting / Airbnb allowed?
- Who pays for repairs, association dues, utilities?
What to upload
- The full lease PDF (or photos of every page)
- Any house rules / HOA addendums
- The landlord's WhatsApp or email if there are side promises (yes, even those)
Two minutes of upload. Five minutes of asking. A whole class of "I didn't realize the lease said that" — solved.
