LIVE REVIEW · ~10-20s · PDF, text, CSV or screenshots
Fineprint reads it the way a lawyer would — marking what's unfair, what's missing, and what to argue about before you sign.
Left is the landlord's wording, untouched. Right is what Fineprint sent back — the same kind of review you get when you run your own.
Fixed term of 12 months. Tenant may not end the tenancy early for any reason. Landlord may end the tenancy at any time with 48 hours' notice.
Entirely one-sided. You're locked in for a year; they can remove you in two days. A fair version gives both sides the same notice.
Tenant pays a deposit of two months' rent. Landlord is not required to protect the deposit in any scheme and may deduct from it at his sole discretion.
Deposits normally must sit in a government-approved scheme. "Sole discretion" means you may never see it again.
Tenant is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, including structural issues, boiler, and roof, regardless of cause.
Structural work and the boiler are the landlord's job in almost every normal tenancy. This could cost you thousands.
No statutory notice period. No deposit protection scheme. No cap on rent increases.
Ask for a mutual 30–60 day notice period, deposit protection in writing, and structural repairs back on the landlord. Fineprint drafts that email for you.
A PDF, pasted text, or a photo of the page. Messy is fine — it reads whatever you've got.
Every risky clause, every missing protection, and a plain verdict on whether to sign.
Fairer wording to propose, and an email you can send as-is.
