Any time an AI product is advertised with something like "Legal Research Agents", a shiver goes up my spine. I see the testimonials (though, I don't put much faith in "Jane Doe" and "Mike Smith" testimonials), however I'm pretty sure in my area anyone who attempts to negotiate (especially based on an AI-built argument) will be told to pound sand. It's not a great market for renters here. Even blatantly illegal clause…

"Spine shivers" are one of the most extreme tells of AI slop. Not that I think you used AI to generate this - but such terms are now poisoned.

This is just adorable. To think that prospective renters have any negotiating power at all when the landlord typically (in my area anyway) receives triple digit numbers of applications.

Landlords in my area are begging for occupants and throwing move in promos at you when you walk in the door because the city allowed new housing to be built in excess after a massive spike in demand during the pandemic

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Honestly, I think you’re going to run into UPL problems, and that residential renters typically have no power to negotiate lease terms.

They already have UPL problems, whether they realize it or not.

Yuuup. Drafting and reviewing contracts is universally considered practice of law, and requires a bar license in the applicable jurisdiction.

This is ridiculous.

Can I to say that? Or do you have a list of allowable words.

Heads up, at least on macOS Safari all the header-ish text is a dark grey color. Pretty poor contrast (even to my non-disabled eyes!). Definitely doesn't look intended.

On mobile,iOS, Firefox and the website is nearly unreadable due to the contrast.
