Contracts & Forms

Forms and contracts are written for the people who build them, not the people who fill them out. Crade reads them on your screen and explains what each field means and what to push back on.

Help me fill out this rental application.

Rental form. The tricky bits: • Income → GROSS, before tax. Want 3× rent • Reason for moving → "Lease ending" is safe • Landlord ref → real phone; they call • Pets → honest about weight • Move-in → 1st or 15th; flexible reads best

5 things to flag before you sign: • Probation: 6 months (standard is 3) • Notice: 3 mo from you / 1 mo from them — lopsided • Non-compete: 12 mo, no geography limit • IP clause covers your evenings + weekends • Bonus is "at company discretion" — not guaranteed Push back on notice + IP scope.
