Where property contracts cost money
A property manager handles paper in three directions. Tenants sign leases with escalations, CAM charges, options and personal guaranties. Owners sign management agreements with fees, authority limits and termination rights. Vendors for landscaping, elevators, security and HVAC send agreements that auto-renew for another year unless you cancel in a narrow window.
Most small and mid-size managers do not have counsel read each one. A missed 60-day notice on a service contract or an unnoticed rent escalation is a real cost, and it repeats across every property in the portfolio.
What the analyzer checks
Upload a lease, amendment, management agreement or vendor contract as a PDF or DOCX. Each clause gets a risk rating, a plain-English explanation and suggested redline language. For property work the checks that matter most include:
- Rent, escalations, CAM and operating expense pass-throughs
- Term, renewal options, holdover and notice periods
- Assignment, subletting and personal guaranty language
- Indemnity, insurance requirements and limitation of liability
- Termination fees and auto-renewal on vendor and service contracts
- Management fee structure and owner termination rights
Never miss a notice deadline
ContractsAnalyzer extracts the term, renewal type, notice period and payment terms from each document and emails alerts ahead of the date. Team plans add an obligation calendar with named owners, so a lease option, an insurance certificate renewal or a vendor cancellation date belongs to a person rather than whoever remembers it.
Abstract leases without retyping them
The key terms of every lease land in a structured summary you can search and export. That replaces the spreadsheet where someone retyped rent and dates by hand, and it keeps working as the portfolio grows. See the full approach on our lease abstraction page.
Who uses it
Owners, portfolio managers and operations leads at property management firms, small landlords with several buildings and commercial brokers who review leases without a lawyer reading each one. Starting at 49 USD per month, it costs less than an hour of outside review on a single lease.
What it does not do
It does not replace an attorney, it does not handle rent collection or accounting, and it only reviews the document you upload. It finds clauses worth negotiating and gives you starting language. Confirm important terms with counsel before you sign.
