# 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.

## Check this before you rely on it

A lease is confidential and often names individuals. The Uniform Law statement, the Law Society of New South Wales guide and Queensland Guidance Statement No. 37 apply before it is uploaded.

## Steps

1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **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.

## Questions

**Is it allowed to use AI for lease abstraction in Australia?**

Yes, to extract dates and obligations a lawyer then checks against the lease. The diary entry comes from the clause, not from the cell alone.

**What tools are used for lease abstraction?**

Contract-review tools in the catalogue, including InfoTrack contract review and Harvey, are used for this kind of extract. Read the profile before you upload a lease.

**The tool and the lease give different dates. Which do I diarise?**

The date in the lease clause you opened. Then fix the extract.
