§ 14 · Right of entry
Landlord may enter the premises at any time to inspect the property.
High severity Cal. Civ. § 1954
California requires 24 hours’ written notice before non-emergency entry. An “at any time” clause doesn’t override that — you can insist on proper notice.
§ 6 · Rent; late charges
A late fee of $150 applies if rent is not received by 5:00 PM on the 1st.
Medium severity
Late fees must be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s actual costs. A flat $150 with no grace period may be challengeable as an unenforceable penalty — worth pushing back on.
Your right — even though the lease is silent Cal. Civ. § 1950.5
Your deposit must come back within 21 days of move-out with an itemized statement of deductions — whether or not your lease mentions it.
Every review reads like this — your clauses, your state.

Questions, answered plainly
Is this legal advice?
No. ReadYourLease provides educational information to help you understand your lease and your state’s tenant rules. We are not a law firm, and a review does not create an attorney-client relationship. For advice about your specific situation, talk to a licensed attorney or a local tenant organization.
Do you keep my lease?
Your lease text is processed in memory to generate the review and then discarded — we do not write it to a database or disk, and we never sell it, share it, or use it to train AI models. If you pay for a full review, the generated report is stored with your Stripe payment record so you can reopen it later; that report can quote portions of your lease. You can ask us to delete it anytime at support@laniakea.com. See our privacy policy for the full retention model.
How much does it cost?
A full review is $9.99, one time, per lease — no subscription and no account. The free lease score is genuinely free: no card, no signup.
How long does it take?
About 2 minutes from paste to finished review.
Which states do you cover?
All 50 states plus Washington, DC. Every review is grounded in your state’s tenant rules — entry notice, deposits, repairs, late fees, and more.
I haven’t signed yet — is this still useful?
Yes. The same review works before you sign: it flags problem clauses and missing protections so you can push back before you’re locked in.
Can the review be wrong?
AI can make mistakes, and laws change. That’s why every finding cites the lease clause and the rule behind it, so you can verify it yourself — and why we recommend a licensed attorney for high-stakes disputes.
Don’t take your landlord’s word for it
A $9.99 review tells you what your lease actually says — and what your state’s tenant rules back up. In about 2 minutes.
