Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about lease abstraction.

Tenant and landlord names, premises address and unit, lease execution date, commencement and expiration dates, term length, base rent and rent schedule (escalations, free rent, abated rent), security deposit, late fee, renewal/extension options, termination rights, percentage rent, CAM/operating expense terms, and exclusive use clauses where applicable. Custom fields can be added with an AI prompt.
Yes. DocuClipper abstracts office, retail, industrial, ground, multifamily, and single-family residential leases. The standard fields above apply to all; commercial leases additionally surface CAM, percentage rent, and exclusive-use clauses where present.
Yes. Use the AI prompt mode to describe the clause in plain English — for example "the assignment and subletting clause" or "any CAM stop or expense cap" — and DocuClipper will pull the relevant text from every lease.

Yes. Built-in OCR handles scanned, faxed, and photographed leases alongside digitally generated PDFs. Old leases pulled from a deal-room data room are fully supported.
A structured table with one row per lease and clear column headers, ready to filter, sort, and pivot. Outputs available in Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and JSON. The JSON output works directly as input to lease-administration platforms and CRE deal-management tools.
Yes. This is one of the highest-leverage use cases. Abstract every lease in a target asset's rent roll in hours, run rollover analysis, weighted-average lease term, and rent-vs-market comparison, and surface red flags (early termination rights, exclusivity provisions) before closing.
DocuClipper averages 99%+ accuracy on standard fields in well-formatted leases. Complex clauses with non-standard wording may need a quick review. You can edit any field before exporting; the AI does the heavy lifting and a human verifies.
Yes. DocuClipper has a REST API. Send a lease PDF and receive structured JSON back. Useful for lease-admin platforms, CRE underwriting tools, and law firms that need lease ingestion at scale.
