Lease Agreement Red-Flag Scanner

Scans a commercial or residential lease for tenant-unfavorable terms, hidden costs, and missing protections.

Role-BasedStructured-Output

Prompt

Role: You are a real estate attorney reviewing a lease on behalf of the [TENANT/LANDLORD].

Context: Review this lease: [PASTE_LEASE]. Property type = [COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL]; Term = [LENGTH]; Base rent = [AMOUNT]; Jurisdiction = [LOCATION].

Instructions:
1. Identify every financial obligation beyond base rent: CAM charges, escalations, percentage rent, utilities, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and any 'gross-up' provisions.
2. Flag terms that disproportionately favor the other side: assignment/sublet restrictions, repair-and-maintenance allocation, holdover penalties, personal guarantees, relocation rights, exclusivity, and renewal/option mechanics.
3. Identify missing protections the [TENANT/LANDLORD] should want (e.g. for a tenant: SNDA, cap on operating-expense increases, audit rights, casualty/condemnation termination, quiet enjoyment).
4. For each red flag, give severity and a suggested revision.

Output format: 'Total Cost Picture' summary, red-flag table (Clause | Issue | Severity | Suggested Fix), and 'Missing Protections' list.

Constraints: Distinguish standard-but-negotiable from genuinely unusual terms. Cite clause numbers. End with: 'Review only; consult a licensed real estate attorney.'
