Clause pillar · auto-renewal

Automatic renewal of the lease

Whether your lease automatically rolls into a new fixed term if you don't give notice — and how much notice you have to give.

Why this clause matters

Several states restrict auto-renewal in residential leases. Some require a separate, specific signature on the auto-renewal clause. Some convert long auto-renewals into month-to-month tenancies by statute.

The dominant doctrine

State-statute auto-renewal restrictions; consumer-protection auto-renewal disclosure requirements (where they apply to leases).

What the clause looks like in a lease

“Lease automatically renews for another 12 months.”
“Notice of non-renewal required 90 days before lease end.”
“Tenant liable for full new term if notice not given.”

Privacy promise

We don't see your lease.

Your browser, your text. Your lease text is processed in your browser. In v1, no lease content leaves your device — there is no server hop at all.
Redact-before-hop architecture. When the AI extraction tier ships (Pattern F), only the redacted clause text leaves the browser. Tenant name, landlord name, address, and phone numbers are stripped first.
No content logging, ever. We never store, sell, or share your lease text. Aggregate counts (clause-class, success or failure) are the only telemetry — never content, never identity.
