Summarise a rent agreement

Rent, term, notice, deposit and who pays for what. This reads the agreement, including a stamped and scanned copy, and says what it contains in a few paragraphs.

• Reads a stamped and scanned copy, which is what most of them are.
• Reports what the agreement says rather than judging it.
• The document never leaves this browser tab.

Why a scan is the normal case here

A rent agreement is printed on stamp paper, signed, witnessed and photographed or scanned. What you have is a picture of an agreement, and a tool asked to summarise it directly has nothing to read at all. Recognition runs first for that reason, and the plan shows you that it is going to before anything happens.

Recognition on a stamped page is harder than on a clean one: the stamp carries its own printing, the page is often photographed at an angle, and a witness signature crosses the text. A flatter, straighter scan is the single biggest improvement available, and it matters more than resolution does.

What a summary is for, and what it is not

It orients. What the term is, what the rent and the escalation are, what notice either side owes, what the deposit arrangement is, and which clauses carry the obligations about repairs and use. That is the page you read before deciding which two clauses to read properly.

It is not advice and it is not a substitute for the agreement. The wording stays close to the document rather than characterising it, because a summary that calls a clause unfair has made a judgement you cannot check without reading the clause anyway.

Figures deserve a look against the original. A rent or a deposit that came through recognition on a stamped page is exactly where a digit goes missing without anything on screen to catch it.

Everything runs in the tab. A rent agreement carries two names, two addresses and usually two identity numbers, which makes it an unusually poor document to hand to a free summariser.

Does it work on a photograph of the agreement?

Yes, though a flat scan reads considerably better than a photograph taken at an angle.

Is this legal advice?

No. It summarises a document; what the terms mean for you is a question for a lawyer.
