The Benefits of Electronic Lease Signing

From overseeing repairs to finding tenants, being a landlord comes with a full plate. One thing you shouldn’t have to worry about? Getting your lease agreements signed. With social distancing and quarantine regulations in full swing, printing lengthy contracts, mailing, faxing or setting up in-person meetings to get your contracts signed is a struggle for many landlords. Plus, don't forget, you still have to store mountains of documentation. Let us help you! There’s a better way. Trust us.

eSignatures have all of the legal power of handwritten signatures. Don't worry - they are secure like a lockbox. You scan your contract or use a boilerplate template. You drag and drop the bits you need the tenant to complete, you enter their email, and send it for signature. You can then track and send reminders to the tenant, all electronically. No calls. No coordination. No printers. No paper. No pen.

In these uncertain times, every landlord, property manager, and leasing agent needs an eSigning solution to kNitro Sign Essentials trialseep their properties filled and their tenants safe. That’s why we’re offering free Nitro Sign Essentials trials, to help businesses successfully adapt to working from home.

2. Smarter, simpler storage Retained signed copies of lease agreements is essential, but it’s also a hassle. Quickly locating those documents when you need them is even tougher.

With PDF versions of your signed leases and fillable rental agreements, you’ll save space and find exactly what you need, when you need it. Nitro Sign integrates with the most common cloud storage services so you can easily access your documents wherever they choose.
