What this video covers

Two paths to getting a lease on the books, both walked through end to end:

  • Generate a lease with AI — enter the terms and get a complete draft to review, adjust, and send for e-signature
  • Upload an already-signed lease — attach the PDF you've already signed so it lives with the lease record
  • Wire it up — the lease terms (rent, due date, grace period, late fee) feed reminders, late fees, and the tenant portal automatically

Either way, the lease ends up in one place, driving everything downstream — so you're ready to collect rent online without re-entering anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you generate a lease with AI?

Yes. AI can draft a residential lease from your inputs — the parties, property, term, rent, deposit, late-fee terms, and utility responsibilities — producing a complete document in minutes instead of starting from a blank template. You review and adjust it before anyone signs, and you can just as easily upload a lease you've already signed on paper so everything lives in one place.

Are electronic signatures legally binding on a lease?

In the United States, electronic signatures are generally legally binding for residential leases under the federal ESIGN Act and state UETA laws, provided both parties intend to sign and receive a copy. E-signing is widely used for leases. As always, confirm your state's specific requirements, since a few states have their own rules for certain documents.

Should I upload my signed lease to my property software?

Yes — keeping the signed lease in your software (attached to the lease record) means the terms, rent amount, due date, and late-fee policy are all in one place, driving reminders, late fees, and the tenant portal. It also gives you a clean paper trail if there's ever a dispute or an audit, instead of digging through email or a filing cabinet.
