Leases and e-signing

Leases signed online by every tenant, then by you.

Prepare the lease, send it, and each tenant signs from a phone with their own link. You countersign, the lease becomes active, and the signed copy and its certificate are kept with the lease.

Example screen: names, places and figures are samples.

01 · Prepare

Your lease, or Holuway's where it is offered.

Upload the lease you already use, use your company's own template, or use a Holuway lease where one is offered for the home's state. Answer its questions, add the adult co-tenants, preview the PDF and send it.

  • Required disclosures attached for you, such as lead-based paint
  • The document fixed with a fingerprint before anyone signs
  • Withdraw and correct an unsigned lease

02 · Sign

Each tenant signs with a personal link.

Every signer gives consent to sign electronically, reads the lease and signs or declines from any phone. You countersign last, and the lease becomes active, with the move-in charges in the ledger.

  • A personal link for each tenant
  • Consent to electronic signing recorded
  • You countersign, and the lease starts

03 · Keep

A signed copy everyone can trust.

The signed PDF is stored once, privately, with its fingerprint and a certificate of completion listing each signature. Tenants find it in their portal, and you find it with the lease.

  • Certificate of completion with every lease
  • Stored privately, never public
  • Tenants see it in their portal

04 · After signing

Renewals, notices and the end of the lease.

Offer a renewal with a new rent, signed the same way. Record a notice to move out from either side, agree an early end, or let the lease continue month to month. When a lease ends, the home is freed and autopay stops.

  • Renewals as new signing packages
  • Month to month after the end date
  • Lease-end reminders

Questions, answered

Are online signatures valid for a lease?

Holuway records each signer's consent to sign electronically, the signature and the document's fingerprint, and issues a certificate of completion, as electronic signature laws expect. For questions about your lease's terms, ask a lawyer in your state.

Can I use my own lease?

Yes. Upload it and tenants sign it as it is. Holuway attaches the disclosures the law requires for the home.

Does Holuway have a lease for my state?

Holuway offers its own lease only for states where a lawyer has reviewed it, and adds states over time. Until your state has one, upload your own.

What if a tenant declines to sign?

You see it at once. Withdraw the lease, correct it and send it again from the same application.
