HomeScout helps you read an Irish tenancy agreement before you sign. Upload a PDF through your HomeScout account to start a review. The AI examines wording about deposits, rent reviews, access, repairs and potentially missing details. It uses an Irish rental-law knowledge base to help identify points worth checking. Findings connect explanations with quoted wording and page references where identifiable.

Know what to ask next.

Your review separates potential concerns, unusual terms and positive points. Short explanations help you understand why a clause was flagged. Suggested questions help you discuss unclear wording with your landlord or letting agent. For points needing further research, follow guidance from the RTB or Citizens Information. You stay in control of the next step, and nothing is sent automatically.

Rental contract review in Ireland

What will I see in my lease review?

See explanations of deposit, rent review, access, repair and other clauses, with potential concerns, points to clarify and helpful terms. Quoted wording and page references, where identifiable, let you read each explanation beside the original agreement.

How do I upload my tenancy agreement for review?

Open Contract Review in your HomeScout account and upload a readable PDF containing every page of the agreement, up to 10 MB. You can optionally add the property address and monthly rent for context. The review then brings the findings and relevant contract wording together.

What do the lease findings mean?

A potential concern is a term worth checking. A point to clarify identifies wording that needs more explanation. A positive point records a helpful term. Each finding should be read with its explanation and page reference; a label alone does not establish whether a clause is lawful.

Can HomeScout help me ask my landlord about a clause?

Yes. Turn unclear deposit, rent review, access or repair wording into a practical follow-up question. Copy the questions you need, edit them for your agreement and choose whether to send them. Nothing is sent automatically.

Is an AI lease review a substitute for legal advice?

No. HomeScout provides an informational review to help you understand the wording and prepare questions. It does not certify a lease or decide whether you should sign. Check important or disputed points with current official guidance or a qualified solicitor.

Can I review a tenancy agreement for free?

Explorer includes one lifetime contract review. Scout includes unlimited reviews for €12.99 per month. Eligible verified new accounts can try Scout free for 7 days, with no card and no automatic charge; after the trial, keep Explorer free or choose a paid plan.
