Private by design

Your file is analyzed in memory and immediately discarded. Only the plain-English summary is saved. Your document is never stored, indexed, or shared.

Common questions

Can Legibly analyze any rental agreement?

Yes — residential leases, sublease agreements, and month-to-month tenancy agreements from any province. Simply upload the PDF.

Does it understand province-specific rental law?

Legibly detects the province from the document and notes relevant context, but it is not a substitute for legal advice from a local tenants' rights organization or lawyer.

What if my lease is handwritten or scanned?

Upload a clear photo (Pro plan) or convert the scan to PDF. Very low-quality scans may reduce accuracy.
