Know what you're signing.
Send us a lease and we send back a plain-language summary: what each section actually says, which terms are unusual compared with what we normally see, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
A lease is the biggest contract most people sign without reading.
Not because they don't care. Because it's twelve pages of defined terms and the agent is waiting.
The cost of not reading shows up later
An automatic renewal you missed, a repair obligation you didn't know was yours, a deposit you can't get back. All of it was in the document on the day you signed.
An attorney is the right call sometimes
And an expensive one when all you needed was to understand the terms. We sit below that line, and we tell you when you've crossed it.
Landlords get it wrong too
Small landlords often use a template they found online, with clauses that their state will not enforce. Finding that out before a dispute is considerably cheaper than during one.
Four steps, start to finish.
No calls to book, no hourly clock running.
Upload the document
A PDF, a photo of each page, or the file your landlord or agent emailed you. Tell us which state the property is in and whether you're the tenant or the landlord — both change what matters.
We read it line by line
Every section is summarised in plain English. We compare the terms against what we typically see in leases of the same kind, and against the statutory rules that commonly apply in that state.
You get a written report
A page-by-page summary, a list of terms that are unusual or one-sided, the deadlines and notice periods pulled out into one place, and a set of questions to put to the other side.
Ask follow-up questions
One round of written follow-ups is included. If your situation needs legal advice, we'll say so plainly rather than guess — that is a job for a licensed attorney in your state.
What every review covers.
The same checklist runs on every document, so nothing gets skipped because it looked boring.
- Term and renewal — start date, end date, how it renews, and the notice you have to give to stop it
- Rent and increases — amount, due date, grace period, late fees, and any clause that lets the rent move mid-term
- Security deposit — amount, what it can be withheld for, and the return deadline the lease claims
- Repairs and maintenance — who is responsible for what, and any dollar threshold that shifts the burden
- Entry and access — notice required, permitted reasons, and emergency exceptions
- Subletting and assignment — whether it is allowed, and what consent is needed
- Early termination — break clauses, penalties, military clauses, and what happens if you leave early
- Default and eviction — what counts as a breach, cure periods, and what the landlord can do next
- Fees and pass-throughs — utilities, amenity fees, pet rent, parking, and anything billed on top of rent
- Unusual clauses — anything we rarely see, written out in plain language so you can decide what to do about it
One flat price per document.
No hourly billing, no retainer, no subscription. You know the cost before you upload anything.
Prices are per document. A document means one lease or contract and its attached exhibits. If your file turns out to be substantially longer than the tier allows, we tell you before starting and you can cancel for a full refund.
Before you buy.
Is this legal advice?
No. Varzy LLC is not a law firm and no one here acts as your attorney. A review tells you what your document says, which terms are unusual compared with what we normally see, and what to ask about. Whether to sign, how to negotiate, and what to do if there is a dispute are decisions for you, and for a licensed attorney in your state if the stakes warrant one. Buying a review does not create an attorney-client relationship and nothing you send us is covered by attorney-client privilege.
How long does it take?
Standard reviews come back within two business days of upload. Same-day is available for documents received before 11am Eastern on a business day. If a document is longer or more complex than the tier covers, we tell you before we start rather than after.
What do I actually receive?
A written report as a PDF. It contains a plain-language summary of each section, a findings list sorted by how unusual each term is, every date and notice period collected in one table, and a set of questions to send to the other side. One round of written follow-up questions is included.
Which states do you cover?
We review documents from anywhere in the United States. Where a state has a well-established statutory rule that contradicts a clause — deposit return deadlines, for example — we note it. We do not interpret unsettled questions of state law, and we say so when a question is one.
What happens to my document?
It is used to produce your review and nothing else. We do not sell it, publish it, or use it to train models for other customers. You can ask us to delete your document and report at any time and we will confirm when it is done. See the privacy policy for retention periods.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, in full, any time before we start work. Once a report has been delivered the work is done and refunds are at our discretion — but if the report missed something it should have caught, tell us and we will fix it or refund you. See the refund policy for the detail.
Not legal advice
Varzy LLC is not a law firm and does not practise law. Our reviews describe what a document says and how its terms compare with what we commonly see; they are not legal advice, not an opinion on your rights, and not a substitute for a licensed attorney. Using this site or buying a review does not create an attorney-client relationship, and what you send us is not protected by attorney-client privilege. For advice about your particular situation, consult an attorney licensed in your state.
