1.1 One-line pitch LeaseTrap helps Massachusetts renters understand their lease: it highlights clauses worth questioning, explains them in plain English, and points to free professional help.

1.2 What it is A web app where a renter uploads a lease. The text is extracted and scrubbed of personal identifiers in the browser. Only the scrubbed text is sent to a language model, which returns a structured list of flagged clauses with plain-English explanations and the Massachusetts law that may apply. The renter can then generate a polite email asking the landlord about selected clauses.

1.3 What it is not Not a lawyer, not legal advice, and not a legal determination. Not a replacement for free tenant resources (see Section 16.3). Not a guarantee that a lease is safe, even with zero flags.
