Lease Landlord Tenant Form
Use a Lease Landlord Tenant template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the lease landlord tenant form does
The Lease Landlord Tenant Form records the agreement between a landlord and tenant for a defined rental arrangement. It identifies the parties, premises, payment terms, lease period, responsibilities, and execution details stated in the document. With signNow, a sender uploads the lease, places or reviews fillable fields, assigns landlord and tenant roles, sends invitations or a signing link, and receives a completed electronic record with an audit trail. State landlord-tenant law controls required disclosures, notices, witnesses, and any notarization.
Who uses this lease form
Property management
Landlords and property managers use Lease Landlord Tenant Form to collect signatures on rental agreements, renewal terms, addenda, and occupancy records. They can assign landlord and tenant fields, send the document electronically, and retain the signed lease with its audit trail for future property administration.
Lease participants
Tenants, leasing agents, and legal reviewers use the form to review the stated premises, payment terms, lease period, responsibilities, and signature requirements. signNow supports remote completion, helping parties coordinate lease execution without relying on paper exchanges or in-person meetings.

Legal standing for lease signatures
A lease signed electronically can generally be admissible when the parties show intent, consent to electronic records, signer attribution, and reliable retention under the federal ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law such as UETA. Wills, court orders, family-law decrees, and other statutory exclusions require separate legal review.
Challenges when completing the lease
Landlord or tenant fields may be assigned to the wrong person, producing an incomplete or disputed lease execution record. Unclear premises, rent, term, renewal, or responsibility language can create disputes even when every signature is collected. Sending a lease before checking state-specific witness, notarization, or disclosure rules can leave execution requirements unresolved. Keeping the signed lease without its audit trail weakens evidence connecting the electronic signatures to the completed document.
Recommended lease workflow setup

Lease form troubleshooting questions
These answers address field assignment, electronic-signature validity, plan capabilities, state-law issues, and preservation of the completed lease record.
Upload the original Lease Landlord Tenant Form again and use signNow’s field-placement tools to add signature, date, and text fields manually. Review every assigned field before sending because automatic detection may not identify an unusual lease layout.
The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and audit trails at $8 per user per month when billed annually. If the workflow needs bulk sending for repeated lease packets, Business Premium adds that feature at $15 per user per month annually.
Under ESIGN and UETA, electronic signing generally requires intent, consent, attribution, and retained reproducible records. Configure signNow’s audit trail, keep the completed lease, and obtain any required consumer electronic-record consent before using the lease in a consumer-facing transaction.
An audit trail supports evidence of the signing event but does not cure missing lease terms, inaccurate party information, or a state-law requirement for notarization or witnesses. Check the applicable state landlord-tenant and real-property rules before relying on the completed lease.
Use signNow’s signer assignments to separate landlord and tenant responsibilities, then review the routing order before sending. If one party receives the wrong fields, void or correct the transaction and send a revised lease rather than altering a completed record.
Export the completed lease and its audit trail from signNow, then store both together in an access-controlled repository. Choose a retention period based on the property, transaction, and applicable state or industry requirements; no single federal lease period applies to every tenancy.
