AI Scan: Listings and Leases
When to use this: You have listing or lease text pasted somewhere and want a second set of questions before you trust it or sign.
Found a listing you're considering, or got a lease a landlord sent over? Before you trust it or sign it, run it through an AI for a second set of eyes. Pick the tool below and follow the steps one at a time.
Nothing you paste is stored or processed by PCS Sitrep. Copy a prompt, open your own AI tool, and run the scan there.
Tool 1 — Listing
Scan a Listing for Red Flags
Five sections: short red-flag check, gaps only, verify steps, copy-paste landlord message, then return to PCS Sitrep. Not a verdict — a question list.

Listing scan prompt
You are helping a military family evaluate a rental during a PCS move. They found a listing online and are using PCS Sitrep — a renter checklist tool, not a broker, legal service, or government resource — before they apply, sign, or send money. They may be renting sight unseen from another state. YOUR JOB - Scan the listing below (or at the URL provided). - Do NOT say the listing is "safe," "legit," or a "scam." - Do NOT give legal advice or tell them to sign or walk away. - Be brief. Do NOT repeat facts already clearly stated in the listing — only flag gaps and risks. If only a URL is provided and you cannot access it: say so in one line, tell the renter what to copy from the listing page, and still complete sections 1–5 using the questions a PCS renter needs before money moves. OUTPUT EXACTLY THESE SECTIONS (use these headers): 1) RED FLAG CHECK (5 bullets max) Only concrete warning signs if present or strongly suggested: money before showing, wire/Zelle pressure, below-market rent with urgency, no live tour offered, vague ownership, duplicate/stock-photo vibes, etc. If none stand out, write exactly: "No major red flags jumped out from what's shown — still verify before money moves." 2) WHAT'S MISSING (gaps only) Bullet what is NOT answered in the listing. Do not repeat rent, bed/bath, or other facts already stated. Cover only what's absent: move-in total, fees, lease term, pet policy, utilities, military/SCRA language, who manages/owns, availability, etc. 3) VERIFY BEFORE MONEY (2–3 bullets max) Independent steps only: county assessor vs. who you're paying, reverse-image photos, live video walkthrough of the exact unit, etc. 4) MESSAGE TO SEND THE LANDLORD OR PM CRITICAL — this section must be one-click copyable in ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini. After this header, write one short line: "Click Copy on the box below, then paste to the listing contact." Then output exactly ONE fenced code block (triple backticks, no language tag like "text" or "markdown") containing ONLY the send-ready message — nothing outside the code block except that one line above it. Inside the code block — plain text only: - Start with "Hi" or "Hi —" - Numbered questions (1. 2. 3.) — one per line - End with "Thanks." - No markdown inside the block: no asterisks, no backticks, no bullet dashes, no "Here is your message" - Target ONLY gaps from section 2 — do not ask for info already in the listing - Include when missing: availability, live walkthrough before fees, role/company, itemized move-in total, lease term and military/SCRA language, official payment path - If pet policy is unclear or missing, ask generically — do NOT mention a specific pet, breed, or animal type - Use pet wording like: "Are pets allowed? If so, what breed or size restrictions apply, and what are the pet deposit, monthly pet rent, and any non-refundable pet fees?" - If the listing already states pets are not allowed, omit pet questions unless something is still unclear Do NOT split the message across prose and the code block. The entire send-ready message lives inside the single code block. 5) NEXT STEP FOR THE RENTER Write exactly this one line (no changes): Click Copy on the section 4 message box, send it to the listing contact, then head back to PCS Sitrep for the next step. LISTING TO SCAN: [PASTE THE LISTING OR URL HERE]
Step 2
Open your AI assistant
Opens in a new tab. Use whichever tool you already have.
Step 3
Paste the prompt and your listing, then send
Paste the prompt, add your listing text or URL at the bottom (replace [PASTE THE LISTING OR URL HERE] if using the template as-is), and send.
Step 4
Copy the landlord message and head back
Section 4 is a copy box in the AI output — click Copy there, or paste section 4 into PCS Sitrep step 2. Section 5 sends you back here.
Tool 2 — Lease
Get Questions for a Lease Before You Sign
Four steps. Turns a lease into a worksheet of questions for base legal — your installation's legal assistance office reviews leases at no charge to you.
Step 1
Copy the prompt
Tap Copy. The full prompt goes to your clipboard.
Lease scan prompt
You are helping a military renter prepare to review a lease. You are NOT a lawyer and this is NOT legal advice. Do NOT tell them whether to sign, and do NOT say the lease is good, safe, fair, or fine. Your only job is to help them find questions to bring to their installation's legal assistance office (JAG), which reviews leases at no charge. Read the lease below and report in plain language. First, THINGS TO LOOK CLOSELY AT: point out clauses a military renter should pay attention to — any SCRA waiver or clause that gives up military legal protections, whether a military clause for orders or deployment is present or missing, early termination terms, deposit amount and return terms, pet policy and pet fees, who pays which utilities, maintenance responsibilities, move-out and inspection terms, and any fees beyond base rent like mandatory benefit packages or admin charges. Second, QUESTIONS TO ASK JAG OR THE LANDLORD: turn those into specific questions they should get answered before signing. Third, a clear closing reminder: this scan can miss things and is not a substitute for legal review; take this lease and these questions to your base legal assistance office before you sign anything, and never sign a clause that waives your SCRA rights. Here is the lease: [PASTE THE LEASE HERE]
Step 2
Open your AI assistant
Opens in a new tab. Same tool you used for the listing scan is fine.
Step 3
Paste the prompt, then your lease, and send
Paste the prompt first. Then paste the full lease text below it. Replace [PASTE THE LEASE HERE] with the actual document. Send.
Step 4
Read what it flags — bring the questions to JAG
The AI lists clauses to look at and questions to ask. That is prep for base legal — not a green light to sign. Take the lease and your questions to your installation's legal assistance office before you sign anything.
Questions to ask — not answers to trust
