Why It Matters
You signed it in minutes.
You signed it in minutes.
You'll live under it for a year.
Most renters forget what's in their lease by month two. The landlord's attorney didn't forget. That gap is where deposits disappear, renewal windows close, and rights get waived without anyone saying a word.
The auto-renewal trap
60
days notice to avoid auto-renewing into another year
You wanted to move in August. The lease required written notice — by certified mail — 60 days before the end date. That deadline was in early June. Nobody reminded you. Now you owe another 12 months.
The move-out surprise
48h
to hand in professional cleaning receipts or the landlord decides the cost
Your lease required a licensed cleaning service with receipts submitted within 48 hours of vacating. You cleaned it yourself. Your landlord charged $600 for cleaning they hired out. It was on page 8. You signed page 8.
The mid-term increase
30
days notice is all some landlords need to raise your rent during the lease
Not all leases lock in your rent for the full term. Some let your landlord raise the rate mid-lease with 30 days notice, no other conditions. If you didn't read that clause, the letter in March will be a surprise.
The entry clause
0
days notice required — some leases let landlords enter any time, for any reason
Your lease said the landlord may enter at any time without prior notice. You signed it. You forgot. Many states don't enforce clauses like this — but you'd have to know it exists to push back on it.
These aren't edge cases. They're standard clauses in leases signed every day. ReziLease reads your lease and reminds you about every one of them — every month, for the life of your lease.
