RentScope

RentScope helps renters estimate the true monthly cost of a unit—not just the advertised rent. It pulls in likely add-ons like utilities, parking, trash, internet, pet fees, move-in costs, and typical annual increases based on local patterns and the building’s history when available. Users can forward a lease PDF or listing link and get a clean “all-in” monthly number plus a first-year cash-out estimate. The app also flags common red-flag clauses (early termination, fee schedules, auto-renewal language) and creates a simple comparison table across multiple apartments. It’s built to be practical: you can share a one-page summary with roommates or a guarantor, and you can set reminders for renewal notice deadlines. This is a mobile + web app, and it’s a combination traditional + AI app (AI for document extraction and clause detection, traditional for calculations and comparisons).
