Lease Analyzer Found 4 Red Flags Before I Signed (9 Nodes) 🔥

New apartment. Landlord sends 23-page lease. Standard form, he says. Sign here.

Built lease analyzer. Found 4 red flags. Including early termination penalty buried on page 17.

THE RENTER'S BLIND SPOT:

You need the apartment. You're excited. You sign what they give you.

$2,400 early termination fee. 60-day notice requirement. Landlord can enter with 12-hour notice. All buried in legalese.

THE DISCOVERY:

Dual document extraction. First call pulls structured terms. Second call generates tenant advice.

Same pattern as contract review. But optimized for renters.

THE WORKFLOW:

Google Drive trigger → Download lease → Document extraction pulls rent, deposit, terms, pet policy, termination clauses, red flags → Merge combines with binary → Second extraction generates tenant advice → Code calculates move-in costs and risk level → Sheets logs analysis → IF checks risk level → High risk: Alert channel → Normal: Completion notification.

9 nodes. Tenant protection automated.

THE RED FLAG DETECTION:

Extraction looks for concerning clauses. Returns array with severity: High, Medium, Low.

Code determines overall risk:

- 2+ high severity flags → High Risk

- 1 high OR 3+ total flags → Medium Risk

- Otherwise → Low Risk

THE TENANT ADVICE:

Second extraction prompt: "Summarize this lease for a tenant. What are the top 3 things to negotiate? Is this tenant-friendly, neutral, or landlord-friendly? What warnings should I know?"

Natural language advice. Not just data extraction.

THE MOVE-IN COST CALCULATION:

Code adds: First month rent + security deposit + any fees = total move-in cost.

No surprises on signing day.

THE TRANSFORMATION:

Before: Sign and hope. Discover problems when moving out.

After: Every lease analyzed. Red flags surfaced. Negotiation points identified.

THE NUMBERS:

23-page lease analyzed in 45 seconds

4 red flags identified

$2,400 early termination fee discovered
