What it finds

Section 12 — Entry and Inspection

"Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises at any time for inspection, repairs, or showing to prospective tenants or buyers, without prior notice to Tenant. Tenant's failure to object constitutes acceptance of this term."

Entry without notice — unusual

Most states require 24–48 hours written notice before a landlord can enter. This waives that entirely. Ask for it to be reinstated.

"Failure to object" — vague and one-sided

Silence is being used as consent. Request language that requires your written agreement, not passive acceptance.

Showing to buyers — standard

Common in most leases, especially near end of term. Usually fine — verify a notice period appears elsewhere in the agreement.

Three steps between you and a safer lease

No legal training required. No 40-page summary to read.

01

Paste your lease

Copy in the full agreement or just the section you're unsure about. We handle the rest.

02

We flag the traps

Unusual clauses get explained. One-sided terms get labeled. Standard boilerplate gets marked as such.

03

Know what to ask for

Walk into your signing knowing exactly what's negotiable, what's a red flag, and what to push back on — with specific language to request.

You shouldn't need a $400/hr attorney to read your own lease

Lease Plain is for anyone signing a residential lease without legal backup.

First-time renters

You've never signed a lease before. You don't know which clauses are standard and which ones are your landlord protecting themselves at your expense.

Moving to a new state

Landlord-tenant law varies wildly by state. What's legally required in California might be perfectly legal to skip in Texas. Know the difference before you sign.

Renewing your lease

Your landlord updated the terms before renewal. Something changed. Find out what — before you sign another 12 months.

Know what you're signing
before you hand over a deposit.
