A Abstract

Every number points back to the page it came from.

Abstract reads a lease PDF and returns every term as structured data — rent, escalations, options, notice windows, guaranties — with a citation on each figure. Lease abstraction for landlords who have to be able to prove it.

Five leases free, with the complete abstract and every citation. Residential and commercial.


The citation

Verifying a number takes one second.

Page 2 of the lease

…Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, Real Estate Taxes, and insurance, as Additional Rent, based on a Base Year of 2026. Controllable Operating Expenses shall not increase more than five percent (5%) per year on a cumulative basis. Non-controllable expenses, including taxes, insurance, and utilities, are not subject to the cap.

From the sample commercial lease. The cap looks like protection until you read the second sentence — which is why the abstract records what the cap excludes, not just its value.

Silence is a finding

A term the lease never mentions is not a blank to fill.

What Abstract returns
Deposit return deadline Not stated

The lease does not address it. That is now a thing you know, and can raise before signing or before a dispute.

What a filled-in guess looks like
Deposit return deadline 30 days

Plausible, market-standard, and absent from the document. Diarise it and you have a deadline with nothing behind it; rely on it in a dispute and you are arguing from a number your software invented.

Measured, not asserted

We publish how often it is right.

Extractions are scored field by field against ground truth keyed by hand from the documents. Two numbers come out: how often a stated term is captured, and how often a term the lease never mentions gets invented.

Read the accuracy report

Current report
The standing report includes the method, the corpus, a changelog, and the list of fields it gets wrong.

No vendor we can find publishes a methodology, a ground-truth corpus, or a hallucination rate — only a headline percentage. Ask any of them what corpus theirs was measured against.

The calendar

A notice window closes quietly.

Nothing happens when a renewal deadline passes. No alert fires, no invoice changes. You find out later, when the option you meant to exercise is gone and the holdover clause is running.

Every property, its own calendar

Each lease has a subscribable feed of its own, its own reminder ladder, and its own recipients — so the manager of one building hears about that building, and the owner sees everything.

Dates derived, not guessed

A notice deadline is arithmetic over a stated term and a stated notice period, computed in code. It is never a date the model produced on its own.

Days before each obligation, as an email digest. Amendments consolidate first, so the dates reflect the terms actually in effect rather than the ones originally signed.

Annual billing takes two months off. Five residential tenancies count as one lease; a commercial lease counts as one. Amendments attach to a lease and never consume an allowance, and re-uploading a corrected document doesn't either.

The filing cabinet problem.

The reason lease software goes unused is never the software. It is the hundred and forty leases nobody has time to load.

Backfile Sprint — $12 per lease, $600 minimum

Send the filing cabinet. Every lease abstracted, every amendment consolidated against its lease, and every abstract checked against the document by a person before it lands in your account. Five business days.

US manual abstraction runs $15–50 a lease, and an in-house hour costs more than that.

Fit

Built for

  • Commercial landlords and asset managers with 20–150 tenancies
  • Property managers with mixed residential and commercial books
  • Anyone tracking critical dates in a spreadsheet one person maintains
  • Portfolios where the leases exist as PDFs and the terms live in nobody's head

Probably not a fit

  • If you need ASC 842 journal entries or a lease subledger — Abstract abstracts terms and does not close the audit loop. FinQuery and Trullion do that, and we will say so rather than sell around it.
  • If your real problem is rent collection or maintenance. That is your property management system, and Abstract is a complement to it.
  • Under ten doors, where a spreadsheet genuinely is enough.
