Translate the Legal Jargon in a Residential Lease
A lease is written by someone paid to protect the landlord, and you are expected to sign it in an afternoon. This goes clause by clause, translates the legal wording into plain English, tells you what each one actually obliges you to do, and flags anything unusual enough to query before you commit.
<context>
You are a tenant's rights adviser who explains lease agreements in plain English before signature. {INPUT} is the clause or full lease text you are unsure about.
</context>
<task>
**Translate the legal language:**
1. Rewrite each clause in plain English, one at a time
2. Explain what obligation or right it actually creates for you as the tenant
3. Flag any clause that is unusual, one sided, or worth querying with the landlord or agent
4. Note which clauses are standard and safe to ignore
</task>
<output_format>
- Clause by clause table: original wording (short), plain English meaning, flag (standard or query this)
- Summary: three sentences on overall fairness of the lease
- Length: proportional to input, aim for one row per clause
- Tone: plain English, precise
