Commercial Lease Clause Comparison & Obligation Tracker
Why This is an Opportunity
The core insight is that commercial leases have a finite, predictable set of key clauses — rent, escalation schedule, CAM charges, tenant improvement allowances, maintenance responsibilities, renewal options, termination clauses, personal guarantee terms. A structured form lets users extract and enter these key terms from each lease into a standardized format. Then you get side-by-side comparison of multiple proposals, a calendar of obligation deadlines with email reminders, and a dashboard showing upcoming rent increases or option exercise windows. Pure CRUD with date-based reminder emails. No document parsing AI needed — users manually input the terms they care about.
Key Pain Points
- •Key lease terms like escalation rates, CAM caps, and renewal windows are buried in dense legal documents with no summary view
- •Comparing two or more lease proposals requires manually building side-by-side spreadsheets of extracted terms
- •Critical deadlines like option exercise windows or personal guarantee expiration dates get missed without active tracking
- •Property managers with 10+ leases have no consolidated dashboard of upcoming rent changes or maintenance obligations
- •Lease amendments and addendums modify original terms but the running summary of actual current obligations never gets updated
Original Discovery
Small business owners and property managers reviewing commercial leases face a specific nightmare: comparing terms across multiple lease proposals or tracking obligations buried in 40-page documents. When does the rent escalation kick in? What are the CAM charge caps? Who's responsible for HVAC maintenance after year three? These critical details get lost in dense legal language. Tenants and landlords alike end up creating manual summaries that quickly go stale and miss important deadlines.
