Getting help
See which questions are still open before you sign a lease
The open questions are the ones you have not marked.
- Calculated from what you enter
- About 2 minutes
- Easy
The short version
- For someone who already has the numbers in hand.
- Mark the questions you already asked. The rest stay listed.
- It is not a decision about what you should buy, sign, or qualify for.
The moment
You have a lease, or you are about to see one. Mark the questions you already got answered. The page keeps the rest.
After this, you can see which questions are still open before you sign a lease.
Your guess first
These numbers are an illustration, not a store price. Lines: Monthly rent is written, Deposit is written, Who pays heat, How many months, What happens if you leave early. Suppose you mark only the first line.
The turn
The first illustration comes out to 4. Still open: Deposit is written, Who pays heat, How many months, What happens if you leave early. A second illustration comes out to 4. Still open: Monthly rent is written, Deposit is written, Who pays heat, How many months.
Why the number hides
The signature line comes before the questions feel finished. A list does not replace the lease. It shows what you have not asked.
Now run your own numbers
Do this next
- Read the lease.
- Mark a question only after you have the answer.
- Read what is still open.
- Ask those before you sign.
- This page does not say the lease is fair.
Who this will not work for
- Legal advice.
- A statement that you should sign.
- Your private lease stored on this page.
This is not tax, legal, or medical advice.
A pitfall
This is not legal advice. It does not say whether you should sign. Ask the landlord or a housing office about anything still open.
How this was calculated
A question stays open until you mark it.
The list changes only when you mark a line.
