Renter Brief Join waitlist

For renters who read the fine print — and those who should

Read your lease
before it reads you.

Paste your lease PDF. Get a plain-English breakdown of every clause that could cost you money — surprise fees, auto-renewal traps, unusual liability terms — in under 60 seconds.

No spam. Just your early access invite.


How it works

Three steps between you
and a lease you actually understand.

01

Paste your lease

Drop in the PDF your landlord sent. Renter Brief reads the whole thing — not just the summary page.

02

We flag what matters

Every clause with a dollar sign hiding in it gets surfaced: late fees, utilities buried in section 11, auto-renewal windows with tight opt-out dates.

03

Sign with confidence

You get a plain-English summary you can actually act on. Know what you're agreeing to before you pick up the pen.


Who it's for

Not everyone has a lawyer
in their contacts.

First-time renters

You've never signed a lease before. You don't know what's standard and what's a trap. Renter Brief tells you exactly what to question before you sign.

Students

Moving every year means signing leases every year. Stop losing your security deposit to clauses you didn't know were in there.

Freelancers

Moving cities for a contract. You need to know if the lease lets you sublet, and whether the auto-renewal bites you when the project ends in month 8.

What we flag

The clauses landlords count on
you skipping.

Auto-renewal clauses with short opt-out windows
Late fees that stack daily
Utilities listed as "tenant responsibility" in the fine print
Early termination penalties
Security deposit deduction terms
Landlord entry rights and notice requirements
Pet fees vs. pet deposits — and what's refundable
Rent increase clauses mid-lease
Subletting and guest restrictions

Your next lease
shouldn't be a guessing game.
