# LeaseLenses

> LeaseLenses reads a residential lease and names what it costs the reader: the clauses that shift money or rights, and the state law those clauses have to answer to. It also publishes the security deposit statute for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the local ordinances that override them in individual cities, and the demand letters a tenant sends when a deposit is not returned.

The first lease analysis is free and needs no card. The documents listed below are paid and are generated from the reader's own answers against the statute for their state.

This index is generated from the sitemap at every build, so it lists every indexable page on the site rather than a selection someone remembered to update.
