Apartment leases · plain language
Read the fine print
in plain English,
before you sign.
Scan a lease page and get everyday-language notes in seconds — the fees, the responsibilities, and the exact questions worth asking. Made for regular people, on the go.
Helpful information for regular people. Not legal advice.
Clause 14 · Repairs & Maintenance
“Tenant shall be responsible for all maintenance, repairs and replacements of any nature whatsoever to the demised premises, reasonable wear and tear notwithstanding, and shall indemnify the Landlord against any and all such costs…”
This says you may have to pay for most repairs — even big ones. Ask what the landlord actually covers.
“Reasonable wear and tear” is normal — everyday aging isn't on you.
How it works
From a page of fine print to notes you can actually use.
The app is built to feel simple: capture the page, get the key points, leave with better questions.
Scan or upload
Snap a photo or upload one letter-size page at a time in the free version.
Read plain notes
Important sections, rewritten into everyday words you don't need a lawyer to parse.
Spot what to question
Fees, responsibilities, timelines and terms that may deserve a second look.
Walk in prepared
Leave with sharper questions before you commit to anything.

We “BeforeYouSigned” ourselves
We ran our own policies through the same test.
Before asking you to read the fine print, we asked: what should a regular person know before using this?
