Frequently Asked Questions

What lease abstraction templates does Lextract offer?
Lextract offers templates across five categories: abstraction, due diligence, CAM reconciliation, compliance, and lease administration. Each template is a structured checklist or data collection form designed for a specific stage of the lease lifecycle. All templates are available as free downloads.
Are these templates compatible with Excel?
Yes. Templates are provided in both PDF and Excel formats where applicable. The Excel versions are structured to accept the 126 fields that Lextract extracts, so you can paste Lextract export data directly into the template without reformatting.
How do I use a lease abstract template with Lextract results?
Upload your lease PDF to Lextract and download the JSON or Excel export when extraction is complete (typically 5–15 minutes). Then map the extracted fields into your chosen template. Because Lextract uses a consistent 126-field schema, the mapping is straightforward and repeatable across your entire portfolio.
Can I customize the export template for my organization?
The downloadable templates are designed to be customized — add your organization's branding, remove fields you don't track, or extend the schema with portfolio-specific columns. For organizations needing automated export into a proprietary template format, contact us to discuss API access.
What fields are included in the standard lease abstract template?
The standard lease abstract template covers all critical economic and legal terms: rent schedule, escalation rates, CAM charges and caps, lease term and options, tenant improvement allowances, permitted use, insurance requirements, and termination rights. This matches the core of Lextract's 126-field extraction schema.
