Are electronically signed lease agreements legally valid?

In most US states, electronic signatures on residential and commercial leases are valid under UETA and the ESIGN Act. A small number of states have specific requirements for certain lease types. Consult a local real estate attorney if you are unsure whether electronic signing is permitted for your specific lease.

Can I send a lease to multiple tenants at once?

Yes. WoltSign supports multiple signers on a single document. Set the signing order so each tenant and the landlord sign in the sequence you specify, or send to all parties in parallel.

Does the tenant need a WoltSign account to sign?

No. Tenants receive an email with a signing link and can complete the signing from any device without creating an account.

How do I handle lease renewals with the same tenant?

Save your lease as a reusable template in WoltSign. When renewal time comes, open the template, update the dates and terms, and send a new signing request. The original signed lease stays in your document history.
