Frequently Asked Questions

MyLeaseIQ is an AI-powered commercial lease analysis platform. You upload your PDF lease and receive a plain-English breakdown of red flags, financial obligations, critical dates, and negotiation opportunities — in under 2 minutes.

We built MyLeaseIQ to level the playing field between commercial tenants and landlords. Most business owners sign leases without fully understanding what they're agreeing to. We change that.

MyLeaseIQ is built for two primary audiences:

Small business owners — anyone signing or renewing a commercial lease for retail, office, or industrial space.

Commercial real estate investors — investors reviewing leases on properties they are acquiring or managing.

We also offer professional plans for commercial real estate attorneys and brokers who review leases for clients.

No. MyLeaseIQ is a document analysis tool, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice and no attorney-client relationship is formed by using our service.

Think of MyLeaseIQ as preparation for your attorney conversation — we help you understand your lease so you can ask better questions and make more informed decisions. For complex leases, we will always recommend consulting a licensed commercial real estate attorney.

We specialize in commercial leases including:

✓ Office leases   ✓ Retail leases   ✓ Industrial / warehouse leases   ✓ NNN (Triple Net) leases   ✓ Gross leases   ✓ Modified gross leases   ✓ Ground leases   ✓ Lease renewals

We do not currently analyze residential leases.

The free pre-scan analyzes the first portion of your lease document and gives you a quick overview including your lease complexity score (1-5), estimated number of red flags, lease type, governing state, and whether attorney review is recommended.

No credit card is required for the pre-scan. You only pay if you decide to proceed with a full analysis.

The free pre-scan completes in under 30 seconds. The full analysis typically takes 1–3 minutes after payment is confirmed. You will be automatically redirected to your report when it is ready.

The full analysis includes:

✓ Plain-English summary of your lease
✓ Red flags with severity ratings and explanations
✓ Complete financial breakdown including total cost of occupancy
✓ Critical dates and deadlines you cannot afford to miss
✓ Negotiation scripts with specific language to request better terms
✓ State-specific law context
✓ Overall verdict and top recommended actions
✓ Attorney recommendation when warranted

Each analysis includes a confidence rating (High, Medium, or Low) based on document quality and complexity. Digital PDFs produce the most accurate results. Scanned documents may have slightly lower accuracy due to OCR processing.

While our AI is highly capable, we always recommend using our analysis as a starting point and consulting a licensed attorney for complex leases or high-stakes decisions.

The complexity score rates your lease from 1 to 5 based on the number of non-standard clauses, one-sided provisions, and overall difficulty of the language.

1-2 = Simple, standard lease
3 = Moderate complexity, some negotiation recommended
4-5 = High complexity, attorney review strongly recommended

Yes. All documents are transmitted using TLS encryption and stored in isolated, access-controlled storage. Your lease is never shared with other users or third parties, and is never used for AI training purposes.

Yes. During upload you can select the "Delete document after analysis" option. Your PDF will be permanently deleted once your report is complete. Only the analysis results are retained in your account.

You can also request manual deletion at any time by contacting support@myleaseiq.com.

We currently accept PDF files only, up to 25MB in size. Both digital PDFs and scanned PDFs are supported. Digital PDFs produce the most accurate analysis results.

Yes. We apply OCR (optical character recognition) to scanned documents to extract the text. However, digital PDFs — where the text is already machine-readable — produce significantly more accurate results. If possible, request a digital copy of your lease from your landlord or broker.

MyLeaseIQ charges a one-time fee per analysis. There are no subscriptions or recurring charges for individual users. You only pay when you decide to proceed with a full analysis after your free pre-scan.
