The average length of a lease agreement is 30 pages. Every one is packed with jargon and expressed in very small print. It's mind-numbing. Familiarizing yourself with a modern lease is a long and arduous task. Operating a fulltime office leasing agencydef I feel lucky that I've had 30 years learn its tricks and traps. Believe me, there are many.
Just think. A hundred dollar oversight in the landlord's favor will cost you $12,000 over the life of a ten-year lease. How many oversights are possible in a 30-page document? Quite a few and they all potentially take money (unnecessarily) out of your pocket and put it into your landlord's.
