Frequently asked questions
How do you sign a lease?
To sign a lease, use an eSignature tool like Signeasy. Upload the lease document you want to sign, add your electronic signature, and submit it to the landlord or property manager. In many countries, including the U.S., electronic signatures on lease agreements are legally valid under laws like the ESIGN Act and UETA. Just make sure all required parties sign and receive a copy of the final agreement for it to be enforceable.
Can I sign a lease over the phone?
No, you can't legally sign a lease over a phone call. Verbal agreements are often hard to enforce and do not meet legal requirements. To legally sign a lease, it must be signed in writing, either with a physical (wet) signature or electronically using an eSignature tool like Signeasy.
How does online leasing work?
Online leasing allows landlords and tenants to manage the entire leasing process digitally. They can prepare and share the lease agreement through an eSignature tool (Signeasy.) Both parties can review, sign, and return the document from any device. Once signed, each party receives a copy, and the lease is legally binding under eSignature laws like the ESIGN Act. This makes leasing faster, more convenient, and fully paperless.
