Question 1

How does Honestkey analyze my lease?

Accepted Answer

Honestkey uses AI to scan your lease against your state's specific landlord-tenant laws. We check the parts of your lease that state law covers, including security deposits, late fees, landlord entry rights, and more.

Question 2

Is my lease data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. They are processed securely and never shared with landlords or third parties in identifiable form.

Question 3

How long does the analysis take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your lease. A longer lease takes longer, and photos or scanned pages take longer to read than a PDF with selectable text. While it works, a progress bar and status messages on the screen show where your lease is.

Question 4

What file formats do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept PDF, Word documents (DOCX), and images of lease pages (JPG, PNG). For best results, upload a clear, native PDF or DOCX.

Question 5

Can I get my security deposit back?

Accepted Answer

Honestkey provides tools to help you understand your rights and generate professional deposit demand letters based on your state's laws, with the statute citations to back them up.
