Top 3 negotiation points: Remove automatic renewal clause (or define written notice period explicitly) · Specify 24-hour access notice in writing · Confirm deposit held in registered TDS scheme
CRITICAL Automatic Renewal Clause

What this means: Your tenancy automatically converts to a new 12-month fixed term unless you give written notice at least 60 days before the current term expires. This is unusually restrictive — most standard AST agreements default to a rolling monthly tenancy. You could find yourself locked in for another year without realising.

England & Wales: Under the Housing Act 1988, automatic renewal clauses are enforceable but must be clearly highlighted. You have the right to challenge if this was not expressly drawn to your attention at signing.
WARNING Landlord Access Notice

What this means: The landlord reserves the right to enter with "reasonable notice" but the agreement does not define reasonable. In practice this creates ambiguity that could be used to justify short-notice visits that would otherwise intrude on your right to quiet enjoyment.

England & Wales: Section 11, Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires a minimum of 24 hours' written notice. Ask your landlord to state this figure explicitly in the agreement.
FAIR Deposit Return Timeline

What this means: Your deposit will be returned within 10 working days of the tenancy end, minus any agreed deductions. This is within the acceptable range and aligns with standard Tenancy Deposit Scheme practice.

Your local laws, applied

Generic lease analysis misses the point. What's legal in Texas is prohibited in California. What's standard in NSW isn't enforceable in Victoria. LeaseScan applies the specific legislation that governs your tenancy — not a one-size-fits-all ruleset.

Common questions

No. LeaseScan is an informational tool that helps you understand your lease in plain English. It is not a substitute for qualified legal advice. Before signing any tenancy agreement — especially if our report flags critical issues — we strongly recommend consulting a solicitor, tenant adviser, or Citizens Advice (UK) / legal aid service in your jurisdiction.
PDF (most common for lease agreements) and plain text pasted directly. DOCX support is available on Personal and above. Files up to 25 MB are supported. Scanned image-only PDFs are processed with OCR.
Most standard residential tenancy agreements (10–30 pages) are fully analysed within 45–90 seconds. You'll see a live progress indicator as each section is processed.
Files are processed in memory and immediately discarded — we do not retain your document or its text. Personal and Landlord subscribers can opt in to report history, which stores only the extracted analysis (not the original file). Your data is never shared, sold, or used for AI training.
Each jurisdiction has a dedicated system prompt engineered against the specific legislation (Housing Act 1988 for England, AB 1482 for California, NSW RTA 2010 for New South Wales, etc.). While we work hard to keep these up to date, legislation changes — always verify critical flags with a qualified legal professional in your area.
