Two things to push back on before signing.

Repair-waiver language isn't enforceable here, and the early-termination fee is steep. Everything else looks normal.

How it works

Three steps. Ninety seconds. One PDF you can actually understand.

We don't just summarize. We compare your lease to standard practice and to the tenant laws of your specific location.

01

Upload your lease PDF

Drag it in. Pick your country and state. We support standard residential leases, addendums, and short-term agreements. Most leases are 20–40 pages — that's fine.

02

We read it like a lawyer would

Every clause is cross-referenced against tenant law where you live and against thousands of standard leases. We flag what's unusual, not just what's complicated.

03

You get a real report

A plain-English breakdown of every red flag, a list of questions to send your landlord, and a draft email asking for the changes you actually want.

A real sample

This is what you get back — a report you'd actually want to read.

Not a wall of legalese, not a vague summary. Every flagged clause has the original text, a translation, why it matters where you live, and the specific change you can ask for.

Sample · Texas · 34 pages

3204 Rio Grande, Unit B

Mostly standard — 2 to push on

This lease is in the ballpark of what's normal for Austin. Three clauses are worth a conversation before you sign — none are dealbreakers, but you have real room to negotiate.

What we noticed

  • The repair-waiver in §14 isn't enforceable in Texas. You can't sign away your right to a habitable unit — ask to strike it.
  • Early-termination fee is 2 months' rent plus forfeited deposit. Ask to cap the total at 2 months.
  • Lease rolls to month-to-month at 125% rent. Ask for 110% and 60 days' notice.

One flagged clause, in detail

Early termination fee

§9.2 · Page 7
Push back
In the event Tenant terminates this Lease prior to the end of the Term … Tenant shall pay a re-letting fee equal to two (2) months' Rent and shall forfeit the Security Deposit in full.
In plain English
Break the lease early, you pay 2 months of rent and lose your deposit. That's roughly 3 months of rent in total.
What to ask for
"Can we cap the total penalty at 2 months' rent, with the deposit returned if you re-rent within 30 days?"

Your report includes 11 more clauses, location-specific flags, and a draft email.

Honest question

Why not just paste it into ChatGPT?

You can. People do. But here's what's different about getting it from us, said plainly:

ChatGPT, free tier
Monelo
Knows your local tenant law
Generic answers. Doesn't know that §92.006 is the Texas habitability statute, won't catch that something is unenforceable where you live.
Curated tenant-law context for your location. Flags clauses that are illegal or unenforceable where you live, with a citation.
Structured, scannable report
A wall of text you have to re-prompt to get usable.
Verdict, risk summary, clause-by-clause cards, local flags, questions list, draft email. Built to scan.
Shareable PDF
You'd have to copy-paste it into a doc.
Emailed as a clean report you can send to a friend, a partner, or an actual lawyer.
Draft email to your landlord
If you remember to ask for it, and probably too formal.
Ready in your inbox. Cites the specific clauses you want changed. Sounds like a person, not a paralegal.
Privacy
Your lease becomes training data unless you opt out.
Documents auto-deleted after 30 days. Never used for training. Ever.

We use Claude on the backend, same family of models. The difference is everything around the model: the tenant-law context we feed it, the structure we make it produce, and the report we hand you.

From recent renters

People who would've signed something they regretted.

"Caught a clause that would've made me pay six months of rent if I left early. My landlord struck it without arguing. Best $29 I've spent."

"I'm a renter, not a lawyer. I just wanted someone to read the thing and tell me if I was about to do something dumb. Monelo did exactly that."
