Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?+
No. This tool is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed New Jersey attorney. It identifies common compliance gaps so you know what to ask about.
How accurate is the review?+
The review covers the major NJ landlord-tenant statutes that apply to most residential leases. AI can miss nuance and local ordinances change. Always verify findings with your municipal clerk and a NJ attorney before relying on them.
What happens to my lease after I upload it?+
We extract the text to run the review and discard the file. We do not store your lease document. Your review results are saved to your account so you can refer back to them.
Do I need to pay?+
No. The lease review is free for all users. You only need a free account so we can show you the results.
What if my lease is a scanned image?+
Scanned PDFs without selectable text cannot be read by our parser. If the upload fails, switch to the "Paste text" option and copy your lease in directly.
