Example Output
Sample Lease Analysis Output
Rent Analysis: Current offer of $2,400/month is 8% below market rate for comparable 2BR units in the area. Market average: $2,600–$2,750/month.
Red Flags Identified:
- Maintenance responsibility clause places all repairs on tenant—unusually broad for residential lease
- Late fee structure (3% of rent) exceeds legal limits in most jurisdictions
- No provision for habitability standards or landlord repair obligations
Recommended Counterproposal:
Rent: $2,500/month (splitting difference)
Maintenance: Landlord covers structural; tenant handles cosmetic
Late Fee: $75 flat fee (compliant with state law)
Renewal: Add 2-year renewal option at CPI + 2%
Negotiation Strategy: Lead with market data showing underpriced rent. Bundle rent increase with tenant maintenance concessions—both parties gain.
