FAQ
Common questions about BeforeYouSign and how to use it responsibly.
Does BeforeYouSign provide legal advice?
No. BeforeYouSign provides plain-language information to help you understand documents On The Go! It is not a law firm and does not replace advice from a qualified legal professional.
Can BeforeYouSign guarantee my lease is safe?
No. The app can help identify clauses and questions worth reviewing, but it cannot guarantee that a lease is safe, complete, enforceable, or suitable for your situation.
What kinds of documents can I review?
The first BeforeYouSign app is focused on residential leases and rental agreements. Future versions may support car financing, employment contracts, and other important agreements.
Should I still speak with a lawyer or tenant advocate?
For serious concerns, disputes, eviction issues, major financial risk, or anything you do not understand, you should speak with a qualified professional before signing.
What should I avoid uploading?
Avoid uploading documents with highly sensitive information unless you are comfortable with the processing required to generate review results. Remove unnecessary personal details when possible.
