Upload an office, retail, or industrial lease and ask about rent, operating costs, assignment, and renewal terms.

Try it free on a real work question, then choose the plan that fits your work.

Commercial lease questions come up at signing, at renewal, and whenever a business grows or moves: Justee lets you upload the lease and ask about specific clauses, with answers that quote the text and cite the law. Ask how a rent escalation is calculated, what the CAM or operating-expense clause lets the landlord pass through, or what consent an assignment or sublease needs. It is built for founders, operations teams, and the people who manage leased space.

Key Takeaways

Ask about rent escalations, CAM charges, assignment, and renewal options.

Answers quote the lease and cite the governing rules.

Commercial leases are governed mainly by their own terms and state law.

Legal information, not legal advice: check the sources and make the call.

Legal Framework & Sources

Commercial leases are governed mainly by their own terms and by state law, such as Texas Property Code Chapter 93 (commercial tenancies), Part I of Florida Statutes Chapter 83 (nonresidential tenancies), and California Civil Code sections 1995.010 and following on assignment and subletting of commercial property. Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. section 12181 and following), both landlord and tenant of a public accommodation can be responsible for accessibility. Statute matching uses the U.S. Code, California codes and England & Wales legislation; answers on other state laws and on federal regulations point to the provision to verify. Justee provides legal information, not legal advice. Chats with Justee are not privileged and do not create an attorney-client relationship; for advice on a specific matter, consult a licensed attorney admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

A note from Justee

In commercial leasing, much of the cost sits outside the base rent, in operating-expense pass-throughs, escalations, and exit terms. Those clauses deserve a close read before signing.

Illustrative example

A founder leasing a first office suite asked the chat to explain the lease's operating-expense clause. Justee quoted the clause, showed that it let the landlord pass through capital improvements without a cap, and drafted a tracked edit adding an annual cap for the founder to raise in negotiation.

Example interaction

User: "What consent do I need to sublease part of this space?" Justee quotes the assignment and subletting clause, explains the landlord-consent standard it sets, and notes any recapture right.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Justee can read any lease, but this page and its examples focus on commercial leases for businesses: offices, retail units, warehouses, and similar space.

Common starting points are rent and escalations, operating-expense or CAM pass-throughs, the permitted use, repair and maintenance duties, assignment and subletting, renewal options, and default and termination terms. Ask the chat to locate each one in the lease.

No. Justee provides legal information with citations you can check, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Chats with Justee are not privileged. For advice on a specific matter, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort, so it cannot guarantee catching everything). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. Nothing you submit is used to train AI models.

U.S. federal law, any U.S. state, and the law of England and Wales. In a document review you choose the jurisdictions that apply: up to 2 U.S. states per document on paid plans and 1 on the free trial. Louisiana and Puerto Rico are civil-law jurisdictions, so each is reviewed on its own. Scots law and Northern Ireland law are not covered.

Guests get a small token allowance to try the chat before signing up. The free Trial plan adds a limited number of document reviews and more tokens. Paid plans add detailed analysis in chat, multi-state reviews, Full Private Mode, and higher limits; the pricing page lists what each plan includes. A guest's chats are deleted after 24 hours.
