Make Repairs Form

Use a Make Repairs template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the Make Repairs Form does

The Make Repairs Form records the property issue, requested repair, responsible parties, authorization, and completion details in one signable document. A sender uploads the form to signNow, reviews or adds fillable fields, assigns recipients, and sends it for electronic signatures. Signers complete the repair information and sign from a supported device. signNow then provides the completed document and audit trail for internal records. The form itself does not replace a lease, work order, invoice, permit, inspection, or state-required notice.

Who uses the repair form

Property management

Property managers use the form to document tenant-reported defects, authorize vendor access, and capture approvals before maintenance work begins.

Facilities and construction

Construction and facilities teams use it to record repair scope, site responsibility, approvals, and completion confirmation for a specific property.

How the Make Repairs Form works

The signNow workflow turns the repair request into an assigned, signable record without changing the underlying repair facts.

  • Upload form: Upload the Make Repairs Form to signNow.
  • Check fields: Review detected fields and add missing details.
  • Assign signers: Assign repair responsibilities and signature fields.
  • Complete record: Send, sign, and retain the completed record.

How the repair audit trail works

The audit trail connects each Make Repairs Form signature and document event to evidence that can be reviewed with the completed record.

01

Authenticate signer:

Records the authentication event for the assigned repair signer.
02

Capture timestamps:

Captures when each repair field and signature action occurs.
03

Hash document:

Associates the completed repair document with integrity evidence.
04

Seal record:

Preserves the completed file against undetected record changes.
05

Review history:

Lists signer actions, document events, and completion details.
06

Export evidence:

Exports the audit trail with the signed repair form.

Ways to send and sign repairs

  1. Use the signNow web app when preparing the Make Repairs Form, checking detected fields, assigning repair responsibilities, and reviewing the final document before sending it.
  2. Use the signNow mobile app when a property manager, contractor, or tenant needs to review and sign the repair record from an iOS or Android device.
  3. Use kiosk mode when several people sign from one controlled device at a property office or service location; Business Premium includes kiosk mode.
  4. Generate a shareable signing link when the same repair request must reach an approved audience, while controlling access and confirming the correct form version.

Legal value of the repair form

The Make Repairs Form creates a dated record of the reported issue, requested work, authorization, and signatures, helping property and facilities teams coordinate repairs and resolve disputes. For qualifying U.S. transactions, ESIGN and UETA recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are met; wills, court orders, and certain family-law documents remain excluded.

Privacy pitfalls in repair records

  • Repair descriptions may expose tenant names, addresses, access instructions, or photographs when shared beyond the people assigned to the work.
  • A signer may complete the repair form without a clear electronic-record consent disclosure for a consumer-facing transaction.
  • Shared links can reach unintended recipients if sender permissions, recipient addresses, or forwarding controls are not reviewed before delivery.
  • Unrestricted downloads can place completed repair forms and audit trails outside the organization’s approved storage and access controls.

Recommended repair form setup

Best practices for repair documentation

Accurate fields, assigned signers, controlled access, and a preserved audit trail make the completed Make Repairs Form easier to review later.

Verify every repair field before sending

Before sending, verify the property address, repair description, materials, responsible party, access instructions, approval status, and signer assignments. Use one completed Make Repairs Form per repair request when separate authorization or vendor records are required.

Assign signatures to responsible parties

Place signature, date, initials, and approval fields beside the relevant repair details. Require each responsible signer to complete assigned fields so the final record connects authorization with the exact work described.

Store the signed record securely

Keep the signed Make Repairs Form and audit trail together in approved storage. Restrict downloads and sharing because the record may contain addresses, access details, tenant information, or property photographs.

Apply the correct retention policy

Apply the organization’s retention schedule to the repair record, rather than assuming signNow’s storage period satisfies state, lease, insurance, tax, or litigation-preservation requirements. Review the schedule when the repair dispute or claim remains open.

Troubleshooting the repair form workflow

Use these answers to resolve field, signer, consent, legal-validity, and plan questions before relying on a completed Make Repairs Form.

Upload the source Make Repairs Form as a PDF or supported document, then inspect every detected field. Auto-detection can miss handwritten lines, unusual layouts, or fields embedded in images, so add and test missing fields before sending.

A signer can usually open the request from the signNow email without creating an account. If access fails, confirm the recipient address, resend the invitation, and check whether a company email filter blocked the signing message.

Review the assigned recipient and field ownership before sending. If the wrong person receives the request, void or correct the transaction according to the workflow, then send a new request with the repair fields assigned accurately.

Electronic signatures for qualifying U.S. transactions generally receive legal recognition under ESIGN and applicable state law, including UETA or New York ESRA. The record must show intent, consent where required, attribution, and reliable retention and reproduction.

If the repair record includes consumer-facing electronic records, provide the disclosures required by 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), including paper access, electronic access, and consent-withdrawal procedures. Obtain legal review when the transaction involves regulated notices or state-specific requirements.

The Business plan includes audit trails and templates at $8/user/month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15/user/month, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication at $30/user/month. Confirm plan limits before sending large repair batches.
