This Lease, Made And Entered Into This Date By And Between Form

Use a THIS LEASE, Made And Entered Into This Date By And Between template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this lease form does

This Lease, Made And Entered Into This Date By And Between Form records the agreement between the named parties to a lease, including the property, term, payment obligations, responsibilities, and signatures stated in the document. The parties complete the specific blanks, review every provision, and sign according to the applicable agreement and state law. In signNow, a sender uploads the lease, reviews or adds fields, assigns landlord and tenant roles, sends it for signature, and retains the completed PDF with an audit trail showing authentication, timestamps, and document activity.

Who benefits from digital lease signing

Landlords, property managers, and real estate organizations use this lease form when parties need a traceable agreement without exchanging paper copies.

  • Independent landlords can prepare reusable lease templates, collect signatures remotely, and preserve the completed agreement without arranging repeated office appointments.
  • Residential property managers can send leases to tenants and co-signers in sequence, track outstanding signatures, and keep audit evidence with each property record.
  • Enterprise real estate operators can standardize lease workflows across offices, use administrative controls, and connect signed agreements to systems such as Salesforce or NetSuite.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Record-keeping practices for signed leases

A signed lease is easier to administer and defend when the agreement, completion evidence, and access controls are managed as one record.

Keep executed lease records together

Keep the executed lease, completion certificate, and audit trail together in a controlled repository. Apply the retention period required by the lease, applicable state law, and any organization-specific property or accounting policy.

Export audit evidence after completion

Export the audit trail after every completed lease and verify that signer identities, timestamps, IP information, and document history remain readable with the final PDF.

Protect tenant information in storage

Use access-controlled storage for tenant addresses, payment terms, identification details, and signatures. Limit retrieval permissions to authorized property, legal, finance, and compliance personnel.

Confirm applicable state requirements

Review state-specific landlord-tenant requirements before selecting a retention period. Federal retention rules for other records do not automatically determine the period for a private residential lease.

Legal standing of a signed lease

A signed lease can provide evidence of the parties’ agreement when the record shows intent, consent, attribution, and reliable retention. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state electronic-transactions law, usually UETA or New York ESRA, support electronic records, but state landlord-tenant rules and required notices still control.

Lease form questions and troubleshooting

These answers address field preparation, signer identity, electronic consent, plan limits, and mobile completion for this lease form.

Upload the original PDF again and check whether its fields are flattened or protected. signNow can detect fillable areas, but locked or image-only pages may require manually added text, date, initials, and signature fields.

Confirm that every landlord, tenant, guarantor, and witness has an assigned role and required field. signNow will not complete the lease until mandatory fields are finished by the designated signer.

Use email verification or SMS authentication for the parties, and retain the signNow audit trail. ESIGN and UETA focus on intent, consent, attribution, and record reproducibility rather than one mandatory authentication method.

Consumer-facing electronic records may require an ESIGN disclosure under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), including paper-record rights and electronic-access information. Confirm the disclosure and withdrawal process before sending a consumer lease.

The Business plan is listed at $8 per user monthly when billed annually and includes audit trails and templates. Paid plans include 100 signature invites per user per year; confirm overage terms before high-volume leasing.

Use signNow’s mobile apps when a tenant or property representative needs to review and sign away from a desk. The completed lease can be retained with its audit trail for property records.
