Lease IQ reviews residential and commercial leases for Cape Town tenants who want to know exactly what they’re signing before it costs them.
Whether you’re renting a home or running a business, the problem is the same.
Residential Tenants
Private tenants rarely have property professionals on speed dial. You’re signing a document that affects your daily life, your finances, and your liability for anything from burst geysers to early cancellation penalties. Most of the time, no one explains any of it. Lease IQ gives you the same quality of insight that tenants with access to professional advisors have always had, at a price that makes sense for an individual.
Business Owners
If you run a smaller or independently owned business, you’re competing for space against tenants whose teams include brokers, attorneys, and property managers. You’re signing leases with operating cost structures, rates recoveries, special levies, escalation clauses, and maintenance provisions that carry significant financial exposure, often locked in for five years or longer. Lease IQ was built for businesses exactly like yours.
Standard Residential Lease Review
A Standard Review covers the core elements of your lease: your obligations as a tenant, maintenance and repair responsibilities, deposit conditions, renewal and cancellation terms, and any clauses that carry unusual risk or that tenants commonly overlook. You receive a written summary in plain language with all findings clearly set out.

Standard Review
A Standard Commercial Review covers the key financial and operational terms of your lease. It identifies your cost exposure across the full lease term, flags maintenance, reinstatement, and liability provisions, and gives you a plain language summary of the obligations you’re taking on and the clauses worth questioning or clarifying before you sign.

Full Review and Report
A Full Review and Report covers everything in the Standard Review and goes further. You receive a detailed written report with recommendations, options where you may have room to challenge or negotiate specific terms, and guidance on any clauses that warrant closer attention. This is the right choice if you’re entering a new lease in a property you plan to stay in for some time, or if you’re dealing with an issue that has already come up mid-tenancy.

Full Review and Report
A Full Commercial Review is a comprehensive written analysis of your lease. It covers all financial obligations across the lease term, assesses your risk on costs and liability, provides specific recommendations around terms worth negotiating or pushing back on, and includes practical guidance on renewals where relevant. For independently owned businesses facing a significant lease commitment, whether it’s a new space or a renewal on a lease that has always felt unclear.
