Drafting residential lease agreements manually requires hours of research to ensure state compliance, proper clause inclusion, and legal accuracy. Attorneys and property managers waste valuable time searching for current regulations on security deposits, eviction procedures, and disclosure requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Drafting residential lease agreements requires extensive knowledge of state-specific landlord-tenant laws, security deposit regulations, disclosure requirements, and fair housing compliance. Attorneys spend hours researching jurisdictional requirements, customizing provisions, and ensuring every clause meets current legal standards, while a single missed disclosure or non-compliant provision can expose clients to liability.
CaseMark automates residential lease drafting with jurisdiction-specific compliance built in. Our AI analyzes your property details and uploaded documents, applies current state laws and local ordinances, and generates comprehensive lease agreements with all required disclosures, proper security deposit provisions, and enforceable terms tailored to your specific situation.

CaseMark's AI is trained on current landlord-tenant statutes, regulations, and case law for all 50 states. When you specify the property location, the system automatically applies jurisdiction-specific requirements including security deposit limits, notice periods, mandatory disclosures, and prohibited provisions. The output includes proper legal citations and flags any areas requiring attorney review based on recent legislative changes or complex local ordinances.
At minimum, you need the property address and legal description, full names and contact information for landlord and tenants, lease term and rent amount, and security deposit details. Upload any available documents like property deeds, prior leases, HOA rules, or inspection reports, and CaseMark will extract relevant information automatically. The system will identify any gaps and prompt you for missing required information before generating the final document.
Yes, CaseMark generates a comprehensive base agreement that you can customize for unique circumstances. The AI identifies special considerations from your uploaded documents—like pet policies, parking arrangements, or utility allocations—and incorporates appropriate provisions. You can modify any section while maintaining legal compliance, and the system will flag provisions that may conflict with state law or create enforceability issues.
CaseMark automatically includes all mandatory state and federal disclosures based on property location and characteristics. This includes lead-based paint warnings for pre-1978 construction, mold or water damage history, sex offender registry notifications, and state-specific requirements. The system cross-references property details against disclosure databases to ensure nothing is missed, and provides a checklist of all included disclosures for your verification.
The system automatically applies your state's security deposit laws, including maximum amounts (typically 1-2 months' rent), permitted uses, return timelines (ranging from 14-60 days by state), itemization requirements, and interest obligations where applicable. CaseMark generates compliant language for deposit collection, holding, deductions, and return procedures, including statutory penalties for landlord non-compliance. The output clearly explains the legal requirements so both parties understand their rights and obligations.
Yes, upload your HOA CC&Rs, bylaws, or condo association rules, and CaseMark will analyze them for provisions that must be incorporated into the lease. The system identifies restrictions on pets, parking, alterations, noise, and common area usage, then drafts appropriate lease language that binds tenants to association rules and clarifies how violations and fines will be handled. This ensures consistency between the lease and governing documents while protecting the landlord from association enforcement actions.
