Read the transcript
Your office lease is coming up for renewal. Do you know what it says about your deadline, your rent and your options? Renewal Option reads the lease for you. Upload it, answer a few questions about your business, and in a few minutes you have a report.
Here is a sample lease for a small office in Toronto. It scores a D. The bottom line says it plainly: this lease could use real changes before you sign or renew. The report tells you where to start. On this lease, the renewal notice is due 9 to 12 months before the lease ends. That is easy to miss, and a missed deadline could cost you the option to renew.
Next, it shows what to raise with your landlord, starting with the most important. Each point tells you what the lease says and what you could consider asking for. Every finding points to the clause it comes from, so you can check it yourself. You can see where the grade comes from: risk, financial fairness, renewal strength and flexibility. And you can see what the lease could cost you, year by year, as an illustrative figure based on the numbers in your lease.
Renewal Option is software analysis, not legal advice. It helps you know what to look at and what to negotiate before you sit down with your landlord.

Ranked first of 11 points by commercial impact.
What gets scored
Every lease is scored across five dimensions. Four of them make up your overall letter grade. The fifth, Negotiation Opportunity, is reported beside the grade because it answers a different question: how much you can realistically change, not how good the lease is.
Risk
Notice deadlines, default terms, what happens if the building is damaged or sold.
Financial Fairness
Rent, escalations, operating costs, guarantees, security deposits.
Renewal Strength
How dependable your renewal option is, and what could make it unusable.
Flexibility
Assignment, subletting, expansion, contraction, early exit.
Negotiation Opportunity
How much room you realistically have to negotiate. Reported separately from the grade.
Agreement to Lease or full lease: it knows the difference
An Agreement to Lease (ATL) is not meant to cover everything a full lease does. Renewal Option grades an ATL only against what an ATL is supposed to contain, so you are never marked down for terms that have not been drafted yet.
