The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me check a tenancy agreement before I sign.

Sections I've copied: [rent, deposit, term, break clause, notice, bills, other]
Rent and deposit amounts: [details]
Who's on the tenancy: [names]
What worries me: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A plain summary of the money terms.
2. Clauses to query before signing.
3. Deposit protection topics to confirm.
4. Questions for the landlord or agent.
5. Point me to GOV.UK and Citizens Advice housing pages; do not tell me the contract is fine.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. UK English.

For GOV.UK and Citizens Advice guidance on tenancy agreements and deposits, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example
