What you get back

Straight from our sample report on a 10-year restaurant lease. Every finding points to the section of the lease it comes from.

A verdict

Ready to sign after 6 changes

A workable restaurant deal: 3% increases, a $44,240 allowance, a permit exit and a ramen exclusive. Before signing, cap the unlimited spousal guarantee and strip the stacked fees.

Your questions, answered

“Can we sell the restaurant without the landlord blocking it?”

Partly. A sale to an outside buyer needs consent that can’t be unreasonably withheld (§§16.1, 16.3). But the company and both guarantors stay fully liable after any transfer (§§16.4–16.5).

The cost of each problem

3-mile radius, 150% rent penalty

$34k–$357k at risk

§1.22; §9.6. If any related company opens a ramen shop within 3 miles, your rent jumps 50%.

Language you can send

A separate “Requested Lease Changes” document

“20.3 No Relocation. Landlord shall have no right to relocate, reduce, or substitute the Premises … without Tenant’s prior written consent.” No branding, ready to forward to your landlord or broker.

What’s already fine

So you don’t waste leverage

Exclusive use: no new ramen restaurant leases in the center. Early exit: a one-time out if permits aren’t obtained in 90 days. No landlord lien on your property.

A warning on traps

Hidden text aimed at AI

If the lease contains text trying to steer an AI review in the landlord’s favor, the report quotes it word for word in a warning at the top, and reviews the lease honestly anyway.

Questions

What does the report include?
A PDF with a verdict, answers to your questions, each change to make with the dollars at stake and the section and page it comes from, what is already fine, your rent schedule and key dates. A second PDF lists the requested changes in contract language you can send to your landlord.
What types of leases does it work on?
All standard commercial lease types — retail, office, industrial, NNN, ground leases. Any PDF lease in English.
How fast is the report?
Usually about 3 minutes; long leases can take a few minutes more. The report is emailed as a PDF.
Is this a replacement for an attorney?
No. LeaseLens provides structured analysis, not legal advice. If you do hire an attorney, the report shows them exactly which clauses to focus on.
What if the report misses something?
If we miss a material term clearly present in the lease, we reprocess at no charge.
Is the homepage example real?
Yes. The clauses, figures and replacement language come from our sample report on a restaurant lease that is public record, filed with the SEC.
