An electronic lease signature is a digital way for an applicant, resident, owner, or authorized property representative to review and sign a lease without printing or signing paper documents. In multifamily operations, it supports a digitally managed leasing process by letting residents sign at their own pace while staff track completion, countersign, and store the executed lease package. Teams still need controls such as identity checks, signature validation, and complete archiving because invalid or fraudulent signatures can create enforceability risk.
