LeaseLeak

LeaseLeak helps renters and landlords forecast true housing costs and spot upcoming “leaks” like rent increases, utility spikes, and fee changes before renewal. Users upload a lease PDF and connect utility accounts (or manually enter bills). The app builds a month-by-month projection that separates fixed rent from variable costs, flags clauses that commonly trigger extra charges (late fees, pet fees, RUBS, admin fees), and sets reminders for notice periods so users don’t miss negotiation windows. It also benchmarks your current rent against nearby comparable units using public listings and provides a simple negotiation packet: a one-page summary of comps, payment history, and a proposed counteroffer. This is not a magic money-saver—many landlords won’t budge—but it reliably prevents “surprise” housing cost jumps and helps users act early when they still have leverage.
