¿Vas a alquilar en EE. UU.? Creé una herramienta con IA para que no te estafen con la "letra chica" del contrato

¡Hola a todos!

Si alguna vez intentaron alquilar un departamento en ciudades como Miami, Nueva York o Los Ángeles, saben que los contratos (leases) son un dolor de cabeza: 40 páginas de lenguaje legal confuso diseñadas, en su mayoría, para proteger al propietario.

Muchos inquilinos terminan firmando sin saber que aceptaron cargos ocultos, multas excesivas por terminar el contrato antes de tiempo o cláusulas de mantenimiento abusivas.

Para solucionar esto, desarrollé GoLeazly.

¿Qué hace GoLeazly?
Es una plataforma web que usa IA para escanear y analizar contratos de alquiler residencial en Estados Unidos. El objetivo es simple: que entiendas qué estás firmando sin tener que pagar un abogado.

Detecta Riesgos: Identifica automáticamente cláusulas peligrosas o inusuales.

Revela Costos Ocultos: Te muestra una lista clara de todos los fees y penalidades que están escondidos en el texto.

Resumen en Lenguaje Simple: Traduce el "leguleyo" a términos que cualquier persona puede entender.

Enfoque Local: Optimizado para el mercado estadounidense (ideal si te estás mudando o renovando contrato allá).

Si están por firmar un contrato o conocen a alguien que esté en ese proceso, les agradecería mucho si le dan una mirada. Me encantaría recibir su feedback para seguir mejorando la herramienta.

I built an AI tool to find hidden fees and risky clauses in U.S. lease agreements

Hi everyone,

If you’ve ever rented in the U.S., you know that lease agreements are basically designed to be unreadable. Last year, I saw too many friends get hit with "hidden" fees and crazy penalties because they didn't catch a specific clause in their 30-page contract.

That’s why I created GoLeazly.

It’s a web tool that uses AI to scan your rental contract and give you a Risk Report in simple terms.

How it helps:

Finds the "Gotchas": It flags unusual penalties or predatory clauses.

Exposes Hidden Costs: It lists every fee mentioned in the document so there are no surprises.

Saves Time: You get a full summary of the critical points in seconds.

It’s specifically tuned for U.S. residential leases (great for markets like NYC, Miami, etc.). If you're about to sign a new lease, feel free to run it through the tool and let me know if it helps you catch anything weird!

I built something to understand leases (Goleazly)

I realized most people (me included) sign rental contracts without really reading them. Not because we don’t care, but because they’re long, dense, and full of legal language that’s easy to skim past.

So I built Goleazly.

It’s a simple tool where you upload your lease and get a clear explanation of what you’re actually agreeing to. No legal jargon, just plain English. It also points out things that might be risky — like penalties, weird clauses, or anything that could surprise you later.

The tricky part wasn’t just summarizing the document, but making sure the output is actually useful and not misleading. Leases vary a lot, and wording matters more than you’d expect, so getting consistent results took some iteration.

Right now it’s focused on U.S. rental agreements, and I’m working on improving how it flags risk and handles different state rules.

If you’ve ever signed a lease and thought “I hope this is fine”, that’s basically the problem I’m trying to solve.

Curious what others building with LLMs think about this kind of use case.

I almost signed a lease I didn’t understand — so I built an AI to read them

I was about to sign a rental contract in the U.S.

Everything looked fine… until I hit a clause I didn’t fully understand.

And I realized something uncomfortable:

Most of us don’t actually understand what we sign.

Leases are full of:

hidden fees
renewal traps
penalties buried in legal language

You can read them.
But that doesn’t mean you understand them.

So I built Goleazly.

You upload your lease →
It tells you what matters, what’s risky, and what you probably missed.

No signup.
No storage.
Just clarity before (or after) you sign.

Worst case: you waste 2 minutes.
Best case: you avoid an expensive mistake.

I got tired of not understanding contracts, so I built this

I realized something a while ago: even when I try to read contracts, I don’t really understand them.

Not because I’m lazy (ok, sometimes), but because they’re just… hard to read. Everything is written in legal language, sentences are long, and you never really know what’s actually important unless you slow down and go line by line. And let’s be honest, most of the time we don’t do that.

So what happens instead? We scroll, maybe skim a bit, and accept. That’s it.

I kept running into this, not just personally but also seeing how other people deal with agreements, NDAs, terms, whatever. People are constantly signing things they don’t fully understand, and it’s not because they don’t care — it’s because the format is just bad for how we actually process information.

That’s where the idea came from.

I started building something that lets you upload a contract and just… understand it. No legal jargon, no digging through paragraphs trying to figure out what matters. The idea is simple: take a long, dense document and turn it into something you can read in a couple of minutes.

That’s what www.goleazly.com does.

You drop in a contract and it gives you a clear breakdown: what the document is about, the key points, and potential things you might want to pay attention to. It’s not meant to replace a lawyer or give legal advice, but more like a first pass so you’re not going in blind.

What I find interesting is that tools like ChatGPT already changed how we interact with information. We expect things to be explained, summarized, simplified. But contracts are still stuck in this old format that assumes you have the time and knowledge to parse everything yourself.

I’m trying to figure out if this actually changes behavior. Like, if understanding a contract becomes easy, do people actually pay more attention? Or do they still just click accept anyway?

If you’ve ever signed something without being 100% sure what it said (which is basically everyone), I’d love to hear how you deal with it today.

Any feedback is more than welcome — especially if you think this is a terrible idea too, that’s also useful.
