Set up and send a lease for e-signature

With e-sign, your lease goes from uploaded to signed without anyone printing a page. This guide covers uploading your lease, placing fields, and sending it out. Once both parties sign, the completed document is saved automatically.

How to set up and send your lease

1. From your property, select the Lease tab, then Set up lease.

2. Select Upload your own lease, then Get started. (Have a saved template? Select it here instead. Ready-made templates from RentSpree are coming soon.)

3. Drag your file into the upload area or select to browse. Accepted formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, and JPEG, up to 20 MB. If your lease spans more than one file, upload them all and use the drag handles to set the order. Your file can’t be password-protected or contain editable text fields, or it won’t process correctly.

4. Place your fields. The editor opens with a panel on the left: Text, Checkbox, Initial, Signature, and Date Signed. Drag each field onto the document, then choose who it belongs to from the Assigned signer dropdown. For a standard lease, you’ll typically place a Signature and Date Signed field for each party. When everything is placed and assigned, select Save and Close.

5. Review the signer details pulled from your accepted applicant: the tenant’s name and email, and your own as the landlord. Select Edit next to either party to update anything. Check the box to accept RentSpree’s e-sign and e-delivery consent, then select Send for signatures.

6. Optionally, save the lease as a reusable template: name it and select Save as a template, or Skip.

What happens next

You’ll get an email to add your own signature, and your tenant gets a link to review and sign. Once both parties have signed, the completed lease is stored on the Lease tab and you can download a copy.
