Leases are long, repetitive, and written to protect the landlord - which is exactly why the clause that costs you money is easy to miss. Automatic renewals, non-refundable fees, joint-and-several liability, and repair obligations are routinely buried in dense paragraphs most tenants skim.
Hidden Catch reads the entire agreement the way a careful reviewer would, then surfaces only what matters: the specific clauses that carry risk, ranked by severity, each with a suggestion for what to ask or change before you sign.
Cleaning fees, admin fees, and "move-in" charges that are non-refundable or stack on top of the deposit.
Clauses that roll you into a new term unless you give notice on a tight, easy-to-miss deadline.
Fees for breaking the lease that can run to multiple months of rent, sometimes on top of forfeiting the deposit.
Language that quietly makes you responsible for repairs a landlord would normally cover.
Provisions letting the landlord enter with little or no notice, which may exceed what local law allows.
Vague or one-sided conditions that make it easy for the landlord to withhold your deposit.
Yes - residential leases, room rentals, sublets, and most commercial rental agreements. Paste the text, upload a PDF or DOCX, or photograph a paper copy.
Hidden Catch flags clauses that are commonly unfair or unusual and explains why, but it is not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific legal advice. For a binding opinion on your local tenancy law, consult a qualified attorney or tenant-rights service.
