Your landlord had a lawyer write that lease.
You should know what's in it.

Upload any residential lease PDF. Lease Cipher reads every clause and tells you — in plain English — what's unusual, what's a red flag, and what to ask about before you sign.

Examples of what we flag

Flag

Automatic renewal in § 14.2 — 30-day cancellation window or you're locked in for another year at market rate

Flag

$500 carpet-cleaning fee charged at move-out regardless of actual condition — not standard in this state

Flag

Landlord right of entry with 12 hours' notice — most states require 24; this clause may not be enforceable

How it works

Three steps between you and a lease you actually understand.

01

Upload your lease

Any standard residential lease PDF. The full document — not a summary, not the first page. Lease Cipher reads all of it.

02

We flag what matters

Unusual clauses, non-standard fees, automatic renewal traps, landlord-entry provisions, tenant liability shifts. Each flag explained in plain language — no legal jargon.

03

Negotiate from knowledge

Take your flagged report back to your landlord. Push back on unreasonable terms. Or walk away from a bad lease before you're locked in.

Who needs Lease Cipher?

Renters who've been burned — and renters who haven't been burned yet.

Moving to a new city

What's a standard clause in one city is a red flag in another. You don't know the local norms. We do.

Being pressured to sign fast

"Other people are looking at this unit." Lease Cipher can read 50 pages faster than you're being told to decide. Take the time.

First-time renters

Nobody explained the landlord-access clause, the automatic renewal, or the move-out fee schedule until it was too late. Now you'll know upfront.

Small landlords

Review your own leases before presenting them to tenants. Catch clauses you didn't realize were one-sided or legally questionable.

Attorney-level clarity.
Without the $300 fee.
