lets
Doesn't stand against
Lets is the verb let in third person singular: She lets the dog out every morning.
To let is to allow or permit.
A landlord lets property to tenants.
Let's with an apostrophe is a contraction of "let us," used to make suggestions: Let's go.
Without the apostrophe, lets is simply the verb form: He lets things slide.
