How to use AI for lease abstraction in Australia
Lease abstraction pulls dates and obligations out of a lease. The diary entry is taken from the lease, not from the spreadsheet the tool produced.
Steps
Extract the dates and the obligations you listed
Ask for rent review, option exercise, make-good, outgoings, assignment and the clause number of each. A generic summary is harder to check. Use an approved tenancy. Queensland Guidance Statement No. 37 is the confidentiality check on the upload.
Read the extract against the lease
Open the clause the row cites. Correct the date, the party and the condition. The Law Society of New South Wales guide expects that reading from the solicitor. The Uniform Law statement does not let a spreadsheet stand as the advice.
Put the diary entry in from the source
The reminder is typed from the lease clause you have just read, not copied from a cell you have not opened. If the tool and the lease disagree, the lease is the source. Tell the client the limit of the abstract if they will rely on it for a date.
