Estoppel Certificate Preparation

By Angel Campa, Founder · Updated March 2026 · Saves 1–2 hours per tenant

The Problem

Preparing estoppel certificates requires quickly pulling the key terms from the executed lease — tenant name, premise, rent, term, and option status — to confirm against the tenant's representations. Without extraction tooling, attorneys spend hours re-reading leases to populate each estoppel form.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. 1
    Upload executed lease PDFsSource

    Upload the executed lease and any amendments for each tenant requiring an estoppel.

  2. 2
    Extract key estoppel fieldsLextract

    Lextract extracts tenant name, premises, commencement date, expiration date, base rent, any pending rent modifications, security deposit amount, and option status.

  3. 3
    Review amendment and option status fieldsLextract

    Confirm that all amendments have been uploaded and that the option exercise status matches the current record.

  4. 4
    Populate estoppel certificate templateDestination

    Use the extracted data to populate the estoppel certificate form. Source page references allow the preparer to cite the specific lease clause for each representation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fields are included in a standard estoppel certificate?

Standard estoppel fields include tenant name, premises address and suite, lease date and commencement, current expiration date, base rent amount, security deposit, defaults status, and option rights. Lextract extracts all of these.

Lextract extracts default provisions and notice requirements from the lease document. Identifying whether a default is currently outstanding requires review beyond the lease text itself.
