Top 10 Issues We Look For
These are the most common gotchas hiding in standard leases.
Hidden Rent Hikes
Clauses that allow landlords to increase rent mid-lease or automatically renew at a higher rate.
Maintenance Loopholes
Language that shifts responsibility for major repairs (like appliances or HVAC) to the tenant.
Non-Refundable Deposits
Fees disguised as deposits that you'll never see again, often violating state laws.
Excessive Late Fees
Penalties that exceed statutory limits or compound in unfair ways.
Invasive Entry Terms
Lack of proper notice requirements for landlord entry, compromising your privacy.
Strict Guest Policies
Unreasonable restrictions on overnight guests or visitors that impact your lifestyle.
Early Termination Penalties
Exorbitant fees for breaking the lease early, even for valid reasons.
Utility Markups
Hidden administrative fees added to your utility bills by the management company.
Pet Policy Fine Print
Breed restrictions or 'pet rent' clauses that weren't clearly disclosed upfront.
Subletting Restrictions
Total bans on subletting or Airbnb, limiting your flexibility if you need to travel.
