“eLease has saved me hours from send to sign.”

“Managing seven rental properties in Calgary used to mean a lot of repetitive paperwork. With eLease, I can complete a Residential Tenancy Agreement using paralegal-developed terms and RTDRS-consulted clauses, confirm tenant insurance, and collect signatures online. It makes every new lease simpler and gives me confidence that I haven’t missed anything.”

Frequently asked questions

eLease FAQs

Is SingleKey eLease really free?

Yes. It’s free to upload your lease, send it for signature and sign it. There’s no charge to your tenant and no credit card required to get started.

Where is eLease available?

eLease is available for landlords with rentals in all Canadian provinces. If your rental is in Ontario or Alberta, you can use the province-specific eLease experience built around the lease requirements and setup for that province.

Can I reuse a lease I’ve already created?

Yes. Start from a previous SingleKey lease and update what’s changed instead of building another one from scratch.

Can I upload a lease I already have?

Yes. Upload your existing lease to eLease, add the people who need to sign and send it for e-signature. From there, you can track who has signed and download the completed agreement once signing is finished.

How does online signing work?

Once your agreement is ready, send it to your tenants for e-signature. Tenants can review and sign online, and you can track who has signed from your SingleKey account. Once signing is complete, everyone receives a copy of the agreement.

What happens if I need to make a change after sending the lease?

Once you save your changes, the original signing request is cancelled and an updated lease is automatically sent to everyone for signature.

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your lease and signing information is encrypted when it’s sent and stored, and e-signatures are securely processed through Dropbox Sign with a tamper-evident audit trail for every signature.

Do tenants need a SingleKey account to sign?

No. Tenants can create a SingleKey account or sign the lease as a guest.

Where can I find my lease after it's signed?

Once signing is complete, your signed agreement stays in your SingleKey account so you can access or download it when you need it.
