Intro to Generating a California Association of Realtors Lease Agreement

The Lease Agreement feature includes Lease Builder, which generates a California Association of Realtors Lease Agreement for recipients to sign electronically through RentSpree. While C.A.R. members can use this lease agreement at no cost through RentSpree, they must validate their existing C.A.R. account before using it.
