Check your lease: AI lease review built for Australian tenancy law
Paste or upload your rental agreement and get a plain-English review grounded in your state or territory's tenancy laws — not US rules. LeaseLand flags clauses that are illegal, unfair, or worth negotiating, before you sign or before they cost you your bond.
LeaseLand provides general information about Australian tenancy law — it is not legal advice. For advice about your specific situation, contact your state's tenancy authority or a qualified professional. Facts on this page were checked against official sources on 2026-07-06.
What does the AI lease review actually check?
Every clause, against your state's Act
Your lease is read clause by clause against the tenancy legislation of the state you pick — bond caps, break fees, entry rules, fee bans, pet rules — with references to the relevant Act.
Illegal and unfair terms, flagged
Clauses that conflict with your state's rules are called out in plain English, along with terms that are legal but unusual or worth negotiating.
All 8 Australian states and territories
NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory — every answer uses the laws that apply to you.
How do I check my lease?

Paste the text or upload the PDF your landlord or agent sent you. No account needed for your first check.

Read the review
See which clauses are fine, which are unfair, and which are illegal — then ask follow-up questions if you need to.
What illegal or unfair clauses does it catch?
Some of the most common problems in Australian residential leases:
- Bond demands above the legal cap. Every state and territory caps the bond — in NSW, for example, no more than 4 weeks' rent and only one bond per tenancy.
- Pet bonds and pet rent where they're banned. A separate pet bond is only lawful in Western Australia (up to A$350) — in NSW, pet bonds and pet rent are prohibited outright.
- Fees you can't be charged. In NSW, tenants can't be charged for background checks, lease preparation, showings, or initial keys.
- Break-fee clauses that overreach. NSW, QLD, SA and the ACT cap what you pay to leave early — and in the NT, break fees are banned for newer leases.
- Lock-out and bond-keeping clauses. A landlord cannot lock a tenant out or change the locks without a court or tribunal order, whatever the lease says.

Is this legal advice?
No. LeaseLand provides general information based on your state or territory's tenancy laws — it is not legal advice, and it doesn't replace your state's tenancy authority or a qualified professional. It exists to help you understand what you're signing and to point you to the official process when something looks wrong.
