Upload Your Lease for AI Review: How It Works

Getting a plain-English analysis of your lease takes less than a minute. Here's exactly what to do and what to expect.

How to Upload Your Lease on LeasePlain

Uploading and analyzing your lease is a four-step process that takes less than two minutes:

1
Go to the upload page
Head to leaseplain.com/upload. No account is required to get started.
2
Upload your PDF or paste your lease text
Click 'Upload PDF' to upload your lease file directly, or switch to the text input mode to paste your lease text. Both options are analyzed identically.
3
AI analyzes your lease in seconds
LeasePlain's AI reads each clause of your lease, identifies key terms, and flags anything unusual, potentially problematic, or worth discussing with your landlord.
4
Review your plain-English report
Your report is displayed immediately. It includes a summary of key terms, a clause-by-clause breakdown, and highlighted red flags — all in plain English.

LeasePlain currently supports:

PDF (recommended): The most common format for residential leases in Ontario. Digital PDFs (not scanned images) give the best results. Most leases emailed or signed electronically are in this format.
Pasted text: Copy and paste your lease text directly into the text input. Useful if your lease is in a format that's hard to upload, or if you want to analyze specific sections.
Word documents — coming soon: Support for .doc and .docx files is in development.

Your lease contains personal and financial information. LeasePlain takes security seriously:

All data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections.
Lease content is processed only to generate your analysis and is not retained beyond the analysis session.
LeasePlain does not sell or share your lease content with third parties.
For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Your LeasePlain report includes:

Lease summary
Key facts at a glance: rent amount, lease term, notice period, deposit amount, and what's included.
Red flags
Any clauses that are potentially illegal, unusually restrictive, or worth negotiating are highlighted with clear explanations.
Clause-by-clause breakdown
Every major section of your lease explained in plain English — what it means, what it requires of you, and whether it's standard.
Ontario-specific notes
Where your lease deviates from Ontario's standard lease requirements or RTA defaults, this is flagged specifically.
