An Agreement Made Between Hereinafter Called The Landlord Form

Use a An Agreement Made BETWEEN hereinafter Called The Landlord template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this landlord agreement does

An Agreement Made Between Hereinafter Called The Landlord Form is a written rental arrangement identifying a landlord, tenant, premises, payment obligations, and other agreed terms. It records the parties’ intent and provides a reference for performance, notices, and disputes. In the United States, electronic execution may be recognized under the federal ESIGN Act and applicable state law, including UETA or New York ESRA, when consent, attribution, and reliable record retention requirements are met. State law may still require notarization, witnesses, recording, or special disclosures for particular documents.

Legal standing of the agreement

A landlord agreement may be admissible when the parties show intent, consent to electronic records, signer attribution, and reliable retention under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and family-law decrees remain outside ESIGN’s general coverage.

Best practices for completing the agreement

Accurate party details, complete rental terms, and a preserved signing record reduce disputes about what the landlord and tenant accepted.

Verify parties and property details

Identify every party and the premises before sending the agreement. Confirm legal names, contact details, unit address, rent amount, payment date, and term against the underlying tenancy records. Resolve inconsistencies before signatures so the completed document clearly connects obligations to the correct landlord, tenant, and property.

Document material rental terms

State rent, deposits, utilities, repairs, notices, and renewal terms in plain language. Avoid relying on oral side agreements that do not appear in the signed document. Have each party review every material provision and preserve the final version that was actually presented for signature.

Assign fields to correct signers

Use signNow’s field placement and role assignment to give each landlord and tenant the correct signature, initials, date, and required text fields. Send the prepared agreement only after checking recipient email addresses, signing order, and any state-required disclosures or acknowledgments.

Archive the executed record

Download the completed agreement and audit trail, then store both with controlled access. Apply a retention period based on the transaction and applicable state requirements; consult counsel or the relevant state authority when local landlord-tenant rules require longer preservation.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • Including tenant Social Security numbers or financial details unnecessarily increases exposure if access permissions are too broad.
  • Sending the agreement before confirming landlord and tenant email addresses can misattribute signatures or delay completion.
  • Missing rent, deposit, repair, notice, or renewal terms can leave the parties disputing obligations later.
  • A signed electronic copy may not satisfy separate state requirements for notarization, witnesses, recording, or excluded documents.

Troubleshooting landlord agreement workflows

These answers address field placement, signer access, consent, state formalities, and signNow plan features relevant to this landlord agreement.

Upload the landlord agreement as a PDF, then use signNow’s field tools to place landlord and tenant signature, initials, date, and text fields. Review every field before sending, because an automatically recognized field still requires confirmation against the agreement’s actual terms.

Check the recipient email address, spam folder, and signing order first. Resend the invitation from the transaction when appropriate. If the signer still cannot access the document, use a controlled signing link or an alternate verified address without changing the agreement’s substantive terms.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, mobile apps, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Business Premium adds bulk send and kiosk mode. Choose a plan based on actual volume and workflow needs rather than assuming every feature is included on Business.

signNow identifies its Business plan as ESIGN- and UETA-compliant. For a consumer-facing electronic record, separately address the ESIGN consumer disclosure requirements in 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), including access to electronic records and the right to paper records.

A signed landlord agreement does not replace a state-required notary acknowledgment, witness requirement, recording step, or disclosure. Check the property’s state and local rules before relying on electronic execution, especially when the document is connected to a deed or another excluded transaction.

Business plans include audit trails, while the Site License adds SSO, full API, and HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11 add-ons. Select controls based on the agreement’s data and business process; landlord agreements do not become healthcare records merely through electronic signing.
