## How do I see what changed between my old and new lease?

Upload both versions to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and ask for a line-by-line comparison in plain words. At home, it works the same way for a lease, an insurance policy or a phone plan. A business owner can run it on a vendor or client renewal. A clear PDF of each version works best. It explains the wording but it isn't legal advice, so take the flagged questions to a professional when the stakes are high.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I've attached two versions of the same agreement: the old one and the new renewal I've been asked to sign. It's a [AGREEMENT TYPE, e.g. apartment lease]. Compare them line by line and list every change in plain words. Put the changes in a table with four columns: what changed, the old wording, the new wording, and what it means for me in everyday terms. Start with money: price, payment dates, late fees, deposits and automatic increases. Then cover length, renewal and cancellation terms, notice periods, and anything that was removed. Flag the three changes I should ask about first, and write them as short, polite questions I can send to [WHO YOU DEAL WITH, e.g. my landlord]. Don't give legal advice. If something's unclear, say so and suggest I ask a professional.
```

## Step by step

1. Open Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and start a new chat
2. Attach the old agreement and the new renewal as PDFs
3. Paste the prompt and fill in what kind of agreement it is
4. Read the change table and send the three questions before you sign

## What you'll get

A side-by-side table of every change in plain words, plus three polite questions to send before you sign.
