It checks first whether the document actually creates what it claims to — a licence that in substance grants exclusive possession for a fixed term can be recharacterised as a lease under some jurisdictions' law, with materially different consequences for possession rights — and it treats rent-control or tenant-protection legislation as a real possibility that can override the written terms, not something the document's own wording can be assumed to settle.\n\n## Before you start\n\n**Which side is being reviewed for — landlord or tenant (or licensor or licensee).** Ask, and do not begin substantive review until confirmed.\n\n**Governing law and the property's location.** Landlord-tenant law is intensely jurisdiction-specific, and rent-control or tenant-protection legislation in many jurisdictions significantly restricts what a lease can actually provide regardless of its written terms. Extract from the document or ask; treat every point resting on such legislation as a verification point rather than an assumption that the written terms will simply be given effect.\n\n**The complete document set** — the lease itself and any schedule, such as a fit-out or service-charge schedule, that qualifies it.\n\nNot blocking, ask once and proceed on what is confirmed: **posture** — negotiation or executed — which gates whether the output produces redlines or a plain statement of consequence.\n\n## Method\n\n**1. Classify the document — lease or licence — and check whether its label matches its actual substance.** A document labelled a licence that in substance grants exclusive possession for a defined term risks being recharacterised as a lease under the law of some jurisdictions, with real consequences for eviction and possession rights. Flag this as a verification point where the substance looks mismatched to the label; do not assert the recharacterisation definitively without legal research.\n\n**2. Read the whole document once before commenting on any single clause.**\n\n**3. Work through term and renewal.** The lease period, whether a renewal is a genuine option the tenant can exercise or requires fresh negotiation with the landlord, and the notice periods required for renewal or non-renewal.\n\n**4. Work through rent and escalation.** Base rent, the escalation mechanism — a fixed percentage or index-linked — payment terms, and any revenue-share or turnover-rent component where the tenancy is commercial.\n\n**5. Work through maintenance and repair responsibility.** The allocation between landlord and tenant, the distinction between structural and non-structural repairs, and service-charge mechanics where they apply.\n\n**6. Work through the security deposit.** The amount, whether it carries interest, the conditions under which deductions can be made, and the refund timeline and mechanics on exit.\n\n**7. Work through exit mechanics.** Termination rights — for breach, and for convenience if any exists — notice periods, make-good or reinstatement obligations, and the consequences of holding over past the term.\n\n**8. Check for statutory overrides.** Rent-control legislation, mandatory notice periods, or tenant-protection statutes can override the written terms regardless of what the lease itself says. Flag this as a verification point specific to the governing law and the property's location; do not assume the written terms control without that being checked.\n\n**9. Grade every issue** using the practice pack's standard three tiers, from the identified side's perspective, and produce redlines and fallback only where the posture is negotiation.\n\n## Output\n\n**1. Parameters.** Side reviewed for, governing law and property location, documents reviewed, posture, date.\n\n**2. Executive summary.**\n\n**3. Lease-versus-licence classification.** Stated plainly, with any mismatch between label and substance flagged for verification.\n\n**4. Term and renewal.**\n\n**5. Rent and escalation.**\n\n**6. Maintenance and repair allocation.**\n\n**7. Security deposit.**\n\n**8. Exit mechanics.**\n\n**9. Issues list.** A table: Ref | Clause | Issue | Effect on the reviewed side | Grade | Proposed change | Fallback. Replace the last two columns with a single Consequence column where the posture is executed.\n\n**10. Points requiring verification.** Statutory overrides — rent control, tenant protection, mandatory notice periods — and the lease-versus-licence characterisation question, under the governing law.\n\n## Do not\n\nDo not assume a document's label — lease or licence — matches its legal substance. Flag a mismatch risk where one appears.\n\nDo not assume the written terms will be given full effect. Rent-control and tenant-protection statutes can override them; flag this as a verification point.\n\nDo not produce negotiating redlines for an executed lease not under negotiation. State the consequence instead.\n\nDo not assume standard notice periods or statutory protections apply. These are jurisdiction- and property-type-specific.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
