Leases & E-Signatures

E-Signatures

How the built-in electronic signing flow works for landlords and tenants.

Domara has built-in e-signatures — no DocuSign or third-party tools needed. When you send a lease for signing, the entire process happens inside Domara.

How signing works

For you (the landlord)

  1. After generating or uploading a lease, click Save & Send for Signature
  2. You'll be prompted to sign first — draw or type your signature
  3. Once you sign, the lease is sent to your tenant(s) via email

For tenants

  1. Tenants receive an email with a link to review and sign
  2. They can read the full lease, then draw or type their signature
  3. Once all parties sign, the lease is automatically marked as Active

What happens after signing

  • A signed PDF is generated with all signatures embedded
  • Both you and the tenant can download it from the Documents page
  • The lease status changes to Active and rent collection can begin

Signing deadlines

You can configure a default signing deadline in Settings (default is 14 days). If a tenant hasn't signed within that window, they'll receive reminder emails.

Tips

  • Signing reminders can be enabled or disabled in Settings
  • Multiple tenants — each tenant signs individually; the lease activates when all have signed
  • Signed leases are legally binding — electronic signatures are valid under the ESIGN Act
