Negotiate first
There are fixable issues. Use the negotiation tips before signing — you can often improve terms quickly.
Executive summary
Overall this lease is workable, but there are a few clauses that could become expensive (fees, repair responsibility, and deposit deductions). If you negotiate 2–3 items, this becomes a much safer signature.

Category score: 79/100
What this means
Aggressive late fee language can snowball quickly and create unnecessary conflict over timing.
Suggested action
Ask for a short grace period (3–5 days) and a single flat late fee instead of a daily compounding penalty.
What this means
If itemization isn't required, deposit deductions become harder to challenge.
Suggested action
Require itemized deductions + receipts and clarify what qualifies as "beyond normal wear and tear."
Habitability
15% weighted
Category score: 88/100
What this means
Broad repair language can shift major maintenance to you (even when it's normally the landlord's responsibility).
Suggested action
Limit tenant responsibility to minor wear-and-tear and require landlord responsibility for systems, structural, plumbing, and electrical.
