How to sign a lease manually in Plexflow

Preface

This article explains how to use Plexflow to generate an official lease, have it signed on paper, then keep the signed version in your rent file. By using Plexflow to prepare the lease, you reduce the risk of errors, you automate a large part of the process, and you get a clean, readable document already filled in with the right information. The generated lease and the signed document are then kept in Plexflow, which makes it easier to track rents and look up information over time.

Prepare and print the lease in Plexflow

Step 1:

Go to the unit in question in Plexflow.

Step 2:

Click the Prepare new rent button.

Step 3:

Choose the Create a new digital lease option.

Step 4:

Complete all sections of the lease as you would for a regular send. Go to the Review and Sign section and generate the lease by selecting the desired language.

Step 5:

Once the lease has been generated, click the View Lease button.

Step 6:

In the preview window, print the lease. The document is already filled in with the information entered in Plexflow.
