Form 19 Notice Of Proposed Entry To Premises Residential Tenancy

Use a Form 19 Notice Of Proposed Entry To Premises Residential Tenancy 2019 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Form 19 Notice Of Proposed Entry means

Form 19 Notice Of Proposed Entry To Premises Residential Tenancy is a written notice used by a residential landlord or property manager to tell a tenant that entry is proposed for a stated purpose, date, and time. It is not a substitute for the tenancy agreement or the governing residential tenancy law. The sender should complete the rental address, tenant details, reason for entry, proposed schedule, contact information, and delivery details accurately. Because entry rules vary by jurisdiction and circumstance, confirm the required notice period and permitted purpose before sending.

Who uses Form 19 Notice Of Proposed Entry

Property managers

Property managers prepare notices for inspections, repairs, maintenance visits, or authorized showings, then retain delivery evidence with the completed record. They should verify that the proposed entry purpose and timing satisfy the residential tenancy law governing the property.

Residential landlords

Landlords use the form to communicate planned access to tenants without relying on informal messages. Leasing teams can complete the address, tenant, purpose, and timing fields, while authorized administrators control templates and preserve the resulting notice history.

Business types that use Form 19

Form 19 is most useful where planned residential access must be communicated consistently and supported by an organized record.

  • Solo landlords can reuse a verified Form 19 template, enter property-specific details, and preserve each proposed-entry notice without maintaining paper files across separate properties.
  • Property management companies can route notices through authorized staff, standardize address and timing fields, and retain audit trails for maintenance, inspection, and showing workflows.
  • Multisite housing operators can manage consistent templates and permissions while allowing local teams to apply the residential tenancy rules governing each property.

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

How the Form 19 audit trail works

The audit trail records who handled the proposed entry notice, what occurred, and when, creating a reviewable history separate from the notice text.

01

Authenticate signer:

The signer verifies identity through the configured email link or additional authentication before accessing the notice.
02

Capture timestamps:

signNow records the date and time for viewing, signing, and other material document actions.
03

Hash document:

The completed document receives a cryptographic hash associated with the signed record and completion history.
04

Seal record:

The completion record becomes tamper-evident, allowing later comparison against the exported document.
05

Log events:

Each signing action, recipient event, and status change remains available in the document history.
06

Export audit trail:

An authorized user retrieves or exports the completed notice and its audit trail for controlled storage.

Platform requirements for Form 19

Complete and review Form 19 through signNow using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows or macOS. signNow also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android, while TLS 1.2 or 1.3 protects data in transit.

  • Browser support Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on Windows or macOS
  • Mobile access signNow mobile app on iOS and Android
  • Connection security TLS 1.2 or 1.3 for secure browser connections

Avoid errors in the proposed entry notice

  • The notice may omit the proposed entry date, entry purpose, or lawful reason, making the landlord’s intended access unclear to the tenant.
  • A notice can fail when delivered to the wrong tenant, sent to an outdated address, or provided through an unauthorized delivery method.
  • Unclear timing language may create disputes about whether the proposed entry complies with the applicable residential tenancy statute.
  • Missing contact details and response instructions can prevent tenants from raising access concerns before the proposed visit.

Best practices for completing Form 19

Accurate dates, lawful service, precise entry details, and organized records help property teams document the proposed visit without overstating what the form itself proves.

Verify every required notice detail

Review every field against the tenancy agreement and the applicable state or local rule. Confirm the rental address, tenant names, proposed entry date, estimated time window, purpose, and sender contact information before sending. Preserve the completed version with delivery evidence.

Match service to applicable law

Use the delivery method authorized by the governing residential tenancy law and the lease. Record when and how the notice was served, retain any delivery confirmation, and avoid relying on an informal message unless the applicable rule expressly permits it.

State the entry purpose precisely

Describe the reason for entry in plain, specific language. Identify whether the visit concerns an inspection, repair, maintenance task, showing, or another permitted purpose, without adding unnecessary personal information about the tenant or household.

Preserve a complete notice record

Keep the signed or acknowledged notice, audit trail, and delivery record together. Restrict access to authorized property staff, apply a documented retention schedule, and preserve an export that can be opened independently of the signNow account.

Processing Form 19 from draft to archive

The platform workflow is immediate, but the legally sufficient notice period depends on the jurisdiction, tenancy agreement, entry purpose, and delivery method.

01

Prepare the document

Upload the current Form 19 template and confirm tenant, property, purpose, and proposed-entry fields.
02

Deliver to tenant

Send the completed notice through the delivery method permitted by the applicable tenancy rule.
03

Await tenant response

Allow the tenant the legally required notice period before the proposed entry date.
04

Archive the record

Store the completed notice, delivery evidence, and signNow audit trail together.

Retention practices for Form 19 records

Form 19 has no single federal retention period in the supplied authority. Keep the notice and evidence under the applicable state, local, contractual, and organizational schedule.

01

State-required period

Retain according to the property owner’s documented policy and applicable state law; no single federal period governs every Form 19 notice.
02

Delivery evidence

Keep delivery evidence with the notice for the same applicable record period.
03

Audit-trail record

Retain the audit trail while the notice may be needed to establish document history.
04

Restricted-access copy

Secure tenant information with access controls throughout the retention period.
05

Authorized disposition

Delete or archive records only under an approved, documented retention schedule.

Troubleshoot Form 19 signing and records

These answers address signNow configuration questions while separating platform workflow from the residential tenancy rules that govern entry notices.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II coverage. Upload Form 19, verify its fields, and send it through the configured signing workflow.

Business Premium adds bulk send, but this feature is useful only when the same Form 19 workflow must be distributed across multiple recipients. For one tenant-specific notice, Business provides the listed signing and audit-trail capabilities.

Enable SMS authentication or another configured signer-authentication control when identity assurance matters. Authentication strengthens attribution, but it does not replace the applicable residential tenancy rule governing notice content, timing, or delivery.

signNow records timestamps, actions, and document history in the audit trail. Export the completed notice and audit trail together, then retain them according to the property owner’s policy and applicable state or local requirements.

Use the mobile app on iOS or Android to review and sign the notice when working away from the office. Confirm the rental address and proposed entry schedule before completing the mobile signing step.

ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures in covered transactions, but they do not determine the notice period or authorize entry. Confirm the governing residential tenancy statute before relying on electronic delivery or signature.
