Frequently asked questions
Where is my data stored?
Your notebook is stored in the App on your iPhone. There is no Lease Log account, developer upload service or analytics. Apple handles purchases. Records can leave the App when you choose to share a PDF or JSON backup, or when your device backup settings include its data.
How do I get my data onto a new iPhone?
On the old iPhone, open Settings → Save a backup and save the JSON file somewhere you can access from the new phone. It includes your lease, records, photographs and receipts. On the new iPhone, install Lease Log, then choose Settings → Restore from a backup and select that file. Restoring replaces the notebook already on that iPhone, so save a backup of anything you want to keep first. Manual backup and restore are free.
Lease Log does not encrypt the exported file. Choose a storage destination you trust. There is no automatic iCloud sync; Apple's device backups are separate and depend on your settings.
I bought Lease Log Pro but it shows as locked. What do I do?
Open Settings → Restore Purchases in the App. The unlock is tied to your Apple ID and is restored across any device signed in to the same Apple ID. If the issue persists, make sure your iPhone is signed in to the same Apple ID you used at purchase, then try again. Still stuck? Email me with the date of purchase and I'll help.
Is Lease Log a subscription?
No. Capturing records and saving or restoring a backup are free. Generating and exporting the complete PDF report is an optional one-time purchase, called Lease Log Pro in the App. Nothing renews.
How do I get a refund?
Apple processes all refunds for App Store purchases. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com using the Apple ID that made the purchase. The Developer cannot issue refunds directly.
How do I delete all my data?
Open Settings → Delete all lease data and confirm to remove the notebook from the App. Uninstalling Lease Log also removes its local storage. Neither action deletes PDF reports or JSON backups you already exported, and device backups may retain copies according to your settings. Manage those copies at their destinations. Deleting records does not cancel the App Store purchase.
Is the PDF report admissible in court?
Lease Log is a record-keeping tool, not a law firm. Whether any record (digital or paper) is admissible or persuasive in any specific tribunal is decided by the applicable rules of evidence and the judge or mediator — not by the App. The PDF is designed to be a clean, sober, paginated record (cover page, statement of provenance, ISO-8601 timestamps, "Page X of Y") that is straightforward for a tribunal to read. For legal advice on your dispute, consult a licensed attorney or a tenants'-rights organization in your jurisdiction.
What can I do without buying the PDF unlock?
Keep unlimited walkthrough photos, maintenance entries, payments, communications and apartment details for one tenancy. Manual backup and restore are also free. Complete PDF generation and export cost $4.99 once in the US; prices vary by territory. There are no record-count limits or subscription charges.
Can I add more than one lease?
Lease Log keeps one tenancy at a time. Save a backup and any PDF report you need before replacing that notebook. It is not a landlord portfolio manager.
Does it work without internet?
You can create and read your records offline. App Store purchases and purchase restoration need an internet connection. A cloud destination you choose for an exported file may also need one.
