See What You Get
Here's a sample analysis from a fictional lease in California.
Elevated Risk
Your lease allows landlord entry without notice. California Civil Code §1954 generally requires 24 hours written notice before non-emergency entry. This clause appears to conflict with that requirement.
CA Civil Code §1954
Your lease automatically renews with a 6% rent increase. Under the California Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482), annual increases are capped at 5% plus inflation for most properties. This clause may exceed the legal limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is FlagMyLease different from free lease analysis tools?
Free tools provide generic scans. FlagMyLease compares your lease clause-by-clause against your specific state's landlord-tenant laws — whether you're a renter checking your lease or a landlord checking compliance. We identify clauses that may conflict with state law, protections your lease may be missing, and relevant state statutes. Our state-specific comparison is what makes the $4.99 worth it.
Is FlagMyLease a law firm?
No. FlagMyLease is an educational tool that provides general information about lease terms and tenant rights laws. We are not a law firm, do not provide legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using this service. For advice about your specific situation, contact a local tenant rights organization or licensed attorney.
Is my lease text stored?
No. We process your lease text to generate your analysis, then discard the lease text. We do not store the full text of your lease. Your analysis report (which contains excerpts and analysis, not the full lease) is stored so you can access it later.
How accurate is the analysis?
FlagMyLease uses AI to analyze leases against a framework developed with input from tenant rights experts. The AI identifies clause types, applies state-specific legal thresholds, and flags potential concerns. However, no automated analysis can catch every issue. We recommend using FlagMyLease as a starting point and consulting a tenant rights organization or attorney for complex situations.
What states do you support?
FlagMyLease provides analysis for all 50 states plus Washington, DC with state-specific thresholds for security deposits, late fees, landlord entry, rent increases, and more.
Can I get a refund?
Because the analysis is delivered instantly, we generally do not offer refunds. If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from receiving your analysis, contact support@flagmylease.com and we'll make it right.
How long does the analysis take?
Most analyses complete in 30 to 90 seconds. Very long leases (30+ pages) may take up to 2 minutes.
