How LeaseCraft writes and checks its documents

LeaseCraft is a do-it-yourself document preparation service, not a law firm. This page says what the software does, what is checked and how, what is not reviewed, and how to tell us about a mistake.

What LeaseCraft provides

Guided questionnaires that build leases, notices and other documents from your answers. You can preview a document free; downloading the PDF and editable Word file comes with a membership ($2.99/month or $19.99/year; pricing).

What the software does

Your answers decide which clauses a document includes and what they say. Before a document can be unlocked it goes through automated checks:

  • Required information — party names, addresses, dates, and payment terms where applicable.
  • Required clauses — document-specific clauses selected from your answers.
  • Consistency checks — contradictions (for example no pets and a pet deposit) are flagged before you unlock.
  • Output quality — formatting, signature blocks and unresolved placeholders are checked.

Unlocking is blocked below a readiness threshold, so problems are fixed before you pay, not after. The free preview shows the opening of your document, built from the same answers as the file you download. For a residential lease, roommate agreement or sublease the preview also shows the rent section and, where the document has them, the security deposit and late-charge sections. Read the whole document once you have it, before you rely on it.

Where state rules come from

Where our state pages give a specific rule, such as an eviction notice period on a state eviction page, a state's eviction guide, the security deposit rules on a state lease page or a state late fee calculator, the rule comes from a record that names the statute, the official source we read it at and the date we read it. Those pages print the date. A rule we could not read at an official source is not printed there as fact, and a state whose rules we have not verified keeps its guide out of search results until they are.

Other pages may describe rules in general terms. Laws change and cities add their own, so check the current rule where the property is before you act on it.

What is not reviewed

LeaseCraft's templates and state clauses have not been reviewed by a licensed attorney, unless a page says otherwise. Reading a statute at its official source is not legal review. LeaseCraft does not give legal advice and does not guarantee legal results; enforceability depends on your facts, your signatures and the law where you are. For a complex situation, unusual terms or a dispute, consult a licensed attorney.

Reporting a mistake

If a page or a document states something wrong, email leasecraft.net@gmail.com or use the contact form. Tell us the page address or the document, what is wrong and, if you can, the statute or official page that says otherwise. We aim to respond within 2 business days.

When a state rule is corrected, the page shows the new date we read it.

Support and refunds

If a paid document fails to generate or a download does not work, see the support policy and the refund policy. We guarantee delivery of the files you paid for, not legal outcomes.
