This non-US lease is governed by Ontario, Canada law and references Canadian dollar amounts, provincial tax provisions, and Canadian landlord-tenant regulations that differ substantially from US commercial lease norms. Cross-border extraction must correctly handle currency, legal references, and province-specific provisions.
Lextract correctly identified the Canadian jurisdiction, extracted amounts in CAD, identified the Ontario provincial regulations referenced, and applied the appropriate legal framework for interpreting landlord-tenant provisions. The gross lease structure and Canadian property tax provisions were correctly classified.

Yes. Lextract handles leases from Canada, the UK, and other English-language jurisdictions. Jurisdiction is detected automatically and province/country-specific provisions are extracted with appropriate labeling. Currency amounts are extracted as-stated and flagged for normalization.
Lextract extracts the currency as stated in the document (CAD, USD, GBP, etc.) and presents amounts with the currency code. Conversion to a common currency for multi-currency portfolios requires the user to apply an exchange rate at export time.
