Lease Agreement
Your lease is a 12-month financial commitment — read every line.
A lease agreement governs where you live and how much it costs — including charges that never appear in the initial advertised rent. BrieflyGo finds hidden fees, illegal provisions, and one-sided maintenance clauses that landlords hope you’ll overlook.
What BrieflyGo checks
- Base rent, escalation clauses, and rent-increase notice requirements
- Security deposit amount, conditions, and return timeline
- Maintenance and repair responsibilities
- Early termination penalties
- Subletting and assignment rights

What risks are detected
Excessive penalty clauses
Month-to-month rent as early-termination penalty (2–3× normal rent) is often unenforceable — but you’ll need a lawyer to fight it.
Waived habitability rights
Some leases attempt to waive implied warranty of habitability — illegal in most US states.
Hidden fees
Parking, storage, trash, pest control, utilities — each a separate charge not included in the headline rent.
Unilateral entry rights
Landlord right to enter with minimal or no notice despite laws requiring 24-hour notice in most jurisdictions.
