Lease Clause Redline Checker

Beta — modeling in active development

Paste one lease clause — assignment, SNDA, casualty & condemnation, co-tenancy, CAM audit rights, or estoppel — and see how it compares to market-standard commercial leasing practice, term by term, from whichever side you represent.

How This Works

This tool is in beta. Paste a single lease clause — or upload the document and point us to it — and AI reads it, classifies its clause type, and compares each key term against market-standard commercial leasing practice, flagged from whichever side you represent.

This tool does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee how any specific clause would be interpreted or enforced by a court. Discuss an actual lease with counsel →

What a real result looks like

Sample output — fabricated clause, for illustration only

Illustrative scenario: a tenant's counsel reviewing an assignment & subletting clause in a proposed office lease.

Assignment & Subletting — Representing Tenant
MODERATE RISK
Top Concerns
  • The clause gives the landlord sole and absolute discretion to withhold consent to an assignment, with no "reasonableness" standard attached — unusual for a market-standard office lease.
  • No recapture right is granted to the tenant if the landlord refuses consent, leaving the tenant with no exit if a deal falls through.
Term-by-Term Comparison

Consent Standard

Favors Landlord

What your clause says: "Landlord may withhold its consent to any assignment in its sole and absolute discretion."

A sole-discretion standard gives the landlord unreviewable veto power over any assignment — market-standard leases typically require consent not be "unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed."

Market standardConsent not unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed
Favors landlordSole/absolute discretion, no reasonableness standard
Favors tenantDeemed-consent clause if landlord doesn't respond in N days

Recapture Right

Not Addressed

What your clause says: The clause is silent on whether the landlord may recapture the space instead of consenting to an assignment.

Silence here defaults against the tenant — without a negotiated recapture provision, the tenant has no leverage or fallback if the landlord simply refuses consent outright.

Market standardLandlord may recapture in lieu of consenting, on notice
Favors landlordNo recapture right for tenant if consent refused
Favors tenantTenant may withdraw request rather than be recaptured
Suggested Revisions
Consent standard
Replace "sole and absolute discretion" with "consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed," and add a deemed-consent fallback if the landlord doesn't respond within a stated period.
Recapture right
Add a provision letting the tenant withdraw its assignment request within a short window after a recapture notice, rather than being bound to surrender the space either way.
Comprehensive Analysis

This is a SAMPLE analysis generated from a fabricated illustrative clause — it does not describe any real lease. A sole-discretion consent standard paired with no recapture right is a materially landlord-favorable combination: it gives the landlord unreviewable veto power with no corresponding exit valve for the tenant. In market-standard office leases, at least one of these two protections is typically negotiated in the tenant's favor.
