Rewritten
If you plan to move out when your lease ends, you must tell your landlord in writing at least 60 days beforehand. If you forget or miss that deadline, your lease automatically continues month-to-month, but your rent goes up to 110% of what you're currently paying.
About this tool
Lease agreements bury tenant obligations inside dense paragraphs about maintenance, subletting, and fees, and it's easy to sign without fully grasping what you're on the hook for. This tool is tuned specifically to a tenant's point of view — it explains what you're required to do, what your landlord owes you, and any dollar amounts or penalties buried in the clause. Use it before signing a new lease or when you're trying to figure out whether your landlord is following the agreement, rather than for general contract clauses unrelated to renting.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a substitute for legal advice?+
No — tenant law varies significantly by state and city. This tool explains the clause's plain meaning, but you should consult a local tenant attorney or legal aid for anything in dispute.
Does it know my local tenant protection laws?+
No, it only explains the text you paste in. It doesn't check the clause against local rent control or tenant protection statutes.
Can landlords use this tool too?+
Yes, though the explanations are framed from a tenant's perspective, which is usually still useful context for landlords drafting or reviewing leases.
