Commercial Lease Abstraction AI Agent — Extracts Every Key Term From Every Lease Before You Sign

A 50-page commercial lease contains rent escalation clauses, CAM expense caps, renewal options, tenant improvement allowances, co-tenancy requirements, and termination rights. They’re never on the same page twice, and they’re written to be hard to find.

This AI agent reads every lease the moment it arrives, extracts every material term, and delivers a clean one-page abstraction summary — with red flags flagged — before your team signs anything.

The Problem

Every lease uses different language
for the same thing.

One lease calls it a “rent escalation.” Another calls it a “CPI adjustment.” Another buries the same concept in an exhibit on page 44. Before you can manage a portfolio, someone has to read every word of every document.

The AI reads the lease and extracts every material term
On the left is the raw lease — exactly as received. On the right, watch the AI pull out base rent, escalation clauses, CAM provisions, renewal options, TI allowances, co-tenancy requirements, and termination rights. Anything ambiguous or unusual gets flagged.

Clauses that need attention before your team signs
The AI flagged 6 issues across 4 of the 5 leases. Two of them are the kind of thing that quietly costs a landlord or tenant tens of thousands of dollars per year after execution.
Apex — 4% annual escalation is above market
Red Flag
Most comparable leases in this submarket are escalating at 2.5–3% annually. Apex’s 4% CPI-linked escalation will cost significantly more over a 5-year term than it appears at signing.
On a 3,200 SF lease, that’s $12,000+ in extra rent by Year 5. Negotiate down to 3% before executing.
TechHub — TI allowance is ambiguous on scanned amendment
Red Flag
The original lease states $35/SF TI. A handwritten amendment on page 47 appears to change this, but the scan quality makes it unreadable. This must be clarified before execution — the difference could be $40,000+.
Get a clean copy of the amendment and confirm the TI allowance in writing.
Riverstone — Early termination penalty not clearly stated
Watch This
The early termination provision references a schedule that doesn’t appear to be attached. The penalty could be 6 months or 18 months of rent — a $100k+ difference on this suite.
Request the missing schedule before the lease is fully executed.
Shoreline — Co-tenancy clause with broad trigger
Watch This
Shoreline has a co-tenancy requirement tied to the occupancy of the anchor tenant in this building. If the anchor leaves, Shoreline can reduce rent or terminate. This is a portfolio risk if the anchor is at risk.
Assess anchor tenant stability before executing this lease.
Apex — Renewal option notice window is only 6 months
Note
Apex’s 5-year renewal option requires written notice 6 months before expiry. Most leases in this portfolio use 9–12 months. A missed deadline means forfeiting the option.
Calendar this immediately. Put an alert 7 months before lease expiry.
Granite Peak — Cleanest lease in this intake batch
Clean
Granite Peak’s lease has clear rent escalation (2.75% flat), a defined CAM cap (5%), stated TI allowance, and all exhibits are attached and legible. Standard terms throughout.
No issues. Ready to execute. Abstract complete — all 12 key fields populated.
The AI writes and sends the abstraction report to your asset manager
Once all leases are abstracted, the AI drafts a summary email with key terms, flags, and action items — and sends it to whoever needs to act on it before signing.
Step by step

Here’s exactly how it works

Three things happen automatically — from when a lease arrives to when your asset manager has a complete abstraction with every red flag flagged.

📤
Step 1
A lease document arrives — any format
The system watches your document intake email or document management system. PDFs, Word docs, scanned leases, and email attachments are all picked up automatically.

Step 2
The AI reads the entire lease and extracts every material term
Claude AI reads every page of every lease — including exhibits and amendments — and extracts base rent, escalation clauses, CAM provisions, renewal options, TI allowances, and termination rights into a standard abstraction template.
Replaces Accruent and MRI Software which charge $40,000–$120,000/year for lease abstraction tools.

Step 3
Asset manager gets the full abstraction report
The AI delivers a clean one-page abstraction per lease, flags anything unusual, and emails a portfolio summary to whoever needs to act before signing. Everything is logged to Google Sheets for the whole team.

Josh Leavitt
From the founder
“Commercial real estate teams have been paying $50–$150 per lease for abstraction since before email existed. The work is reading a document and filling out a template. That is the definition of something AI should be doing.”
We build the agent, connect it to your document intake, and your asset management team stops waiting for abstractions. Every lease gets the same template, every time, and anything unusual gets flagged before someone signs.
