## What is Before You Sign?

Signing a lease is one of the biggest financial commitments most renters make —
and most of us sign without fully understanding it.
Before You Sign reads your lease with you. Scan a page and get plain-English
notes in seconds: what the clause means, why it matters, and what to ask your
landlord before you sign.
WHAT IT CATCHES
• Rent, fees, and deposit terms — including ones that are easy to miss
• Notice requirements and renewal traps
• Maintenance and repair responsibilities
• Landlord entry, pets, guests, and subletting rules
• Clauses worth questioning, sorted by how much they matter
HOW IT WORKS
1. Point your camera at a lease page
2. AI reads it and flags what stands out
3. Review plain-English notes and suggested questions — no legal jargon
FREE VS PREMIUM
The free version reviews one scanned lease page at a time. Premium adds
full-lease PDF upload so you can review the entire document in one pass.
YOUR PRIVACY
Documents are analyzed and never stored. No account, no sign-up, no data
collection.
Before You Sign is an AI document review assistant for educational and
informational purposes. It does not provide legal advice and does not replace
reading your lease or consulting a professional.
