Can both roommates sign the same lease?

Yes. Add each tenant as a recipient and assign the relevant signature fields to each person.

Can I sign the lease on the landlord side through Inkly as well?

Yes. Add yourself as a recipient and place your own signature field in the document.

Does the tenant need an account to sign?

No. Tenants sign from a link in their email using any device. No account or download required.

Is the sample lease enough for every state or province?

No. Lease requirements vary by location and property type. Treat the sample as a starting point and review it against local requirements before sending.

Are Inkly signatures legally binding?

Inkly is designed for ESIGN and UETA compliant electronic signature workflows. This is general information, not legal advice, so review sensitive use cases with counsel.

Can I download an audit trail?

Yes. Inkly keeps document activity and completion details so teams can download evidence for signed documents.

Who it's for: Landlords, independent property managers, and small property management companies that process leases for residential or small commercial properties.

Lease agreements are heavily affected by local rules, property type, and tenancy details. A sample can give you a structure, but it should not replace jurisdiction-specific review or the forms your property manager, broker, or attorney requires.

Start from our downloadable lease agreement sample. Use it as a starting point, customize it for the property and tenancy, export the finished document as a PDF, then send it through Inkly so tenants and owners can sign remotely.

Sample template

Lease agreement starter template

A rental starter document with placeholders for property details, rent, term, deposit, rules, and signatures.

Sample templates are starting points, not legal advice. Customize the language for your business and ask a qualified professional to review important documents.

Common challenges

Scheduling in-person lease signings around tenant availability when remote signing would work just as well
Setting up signature fields from scratch each time a unit turns over instead of reusing a template
Keeping consistent records across multiple units and tenancy start dates

Best for

Property managers overseeing multiple units who process leases on a regular basis
Landlords whose tenants prefer signing remotely
Managers who want a signed copy and audit trail in their property file from day one

Not best for

Property managers requiring lease generation from tenant data within the signing tool
Teams needing integration with property management software
