Is my lease PDF stored on your servers?

No. Your lease is processed in memory and discarded immediately. Only an anonymous hash and the summary statistics are retained for abuse prevention.

What red flags does the scanner look for?

Excessive late fees, early termination penalties, security deposit traps, mandatory arbitration clauses, auto-renewal without notice, waivers of tenant rights (jury trial, warranty of habitability), one-sided attorney fees, inadequate entry notice, unreasonable fees, unilateral rent increases, subletting bans, abandoned property clauses, confession of judgment, and personal guarantees.

Does this replace a lawyer?

No. This is a plain-English red-flag screen — useful for spotting obvious issues. For a binding legal opinion or negotiation advice, you should still consult a licensed attorney in your state.
