Creating a lease agreement in TurboTenant is easy! We've designed the process and the lease to be easy to use, flexible, and affordable. We pre-fill any information we already have, and you fill in the rest of the details to customize your lease.

If you want further customization in your lease, you can use the Provisions & Attachments section at the end of the design process to add or overwrite anything to the lease terms.

*Lease profiles are for organizational purposes and allow you to easily group your tenant(s) and property together to organize lease agreements and tenants, rent payments, and documents in one place. You can think of this as the hub where all of your information for your Lease is stored.

To access your lease profile, you can select the leases tab from your dashboard and select the name of the current/draft or ending soon lease to manage documents, create a new lease (if applicable), and manage charges!

Fill out each of the sections that we have not automatically filled out to create your lease agreement.

Below is an example of the “Lease Specifics” step, where information about the rental property and the lease dates is prefilled.

As you are filling out your lease agreement, you'll be able to preview the actual agreement that you're in the process of creating.

You can click on the final Provisions & Attachments section when building your lease agreement to enter any specifics you would like to include in your lease. This will supersede what is written in the lease agreement.

If you've found something you'd like to change, you can go in and make adjustments to whichever section you like prior to finalizing. If everything looks correct, you can select "Finalize & E-Sign."

You can purchase a one-time lease agreement or sign up for the Premium Plan to get unlimited lease agreements.

Here, you’ll have another opportunity to add attachments to the lease agreement.

These prompts are the places where a tenant's or a landlord's signature is required.

We will then begin the email notification process with your tenant.

The rest of the process is very similar to the standard E-Sign process within TurboTenant.

Once all parties have signed, the signed copy of the lease agreement will be stored electronically in your TurboTenant account, in the lease profile that is associated with the lease agreement. Your tenant will receive a copy of the signed lease agreement and can access the lease agreement within the Documents section in their tenant portal. You’ll be able to download a PDF of the signed document for your own records as well.

You can download and/or print the document by clicking the hyperlinked Lease Agreement. You will see the hyperlinked lease when it is completed with signatures or once it has been finalized.

The lease can only be printed if you have purchased the lease agreement and if you have finished each section of the lease and have finalized the draft.

Did you make a mistake or need to start over? Click on the three dots to the right of the agreement to delete it. It is important to know that deleting the lease agreement is permanent and cannot be undone. It is recommended to keep a finalized lease agreement.

A: Commercial leases are essential for businesses and organizations seeking to lease properties for operational purposes. These properties are typically designated for commercial, industrial, or retail activities. In contrast, TurboTenant specializes in residential lease agreements tailored specifically for rental purposes in residential settings.

It's important to know that TurboTenant's residential lease agreements are not designed for commercial or business purposes. Using a residential lease for a commercial property renders the lease technically void, as it does not meet the necessary legal standards for commercial leasing.
