Lease red flags that cost renters thousands

Auto-renewal traps
Leases that roll over automatically for a full term if you miss a narrow cancellation window — sometimes 60–90 days before expiry.
Aggressive late fees
Daily late fees with no grace period that can add up to hundreds of dollars in a single month.
Landlord entry without notice
Clauses that waive your right to advance notice before the landlord enters your home.
Non-refundable fees
Move-in fees, cleaning fees, and carpet replacement charges that apply regardless of condition.
Uncapped rent increases
Renewal language that lets the landlord raise rent by any amount with minimal notice.
Early termination penalties
What it actually costs to leave early — some leases require all remaining rent plus fees.
Maintenance responsibilities
Repairs the landlord has shifted to you — HVAC filters, pest control, landscaping, and more.
What's standard and fair
We tell you which clauses are normal so you know exactly what's worth negotiating before you sign.

Lease comparison
Compare leases from different landlords

Monthly rent isn't everything. A cheaper apartment with aggressive auto-renewal and daily late fees can cost more over a year than a slightly more expensive unit with fair terms. Upload up to 3 leases and get a side-by-side comparison.

Questions to ask your landlord

More is negotiable than most renters realize. Here's the kind of thing we surface:

1
"Can we change the auto-renewal notice period from 90 days to 30 days, or add a month-to-month option at the end of the term?"
2
"Can we add a 5-day grace period before late fees apply, and cap the daily late fee at $50?"
3
"Can you confirm 24-hour written notice before entry, except in genuine emergencies?"
4
"Can the cleaning and carpet fees be made conditional on actual damage beyond normal wear and tear, with documentation?"
5
"Can we cap rent increases at renewal to no more than 5% or the CPI, whichever is lower?"
