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

No. Alberta doesn’t require landlords and tenants to use one standard residential lease form, so eLease gives you a guided way to create a written agreement for your rental.

No. Alberta recognizes written, verbal and implied tenancy agreements, but putting the agreement in writing gives you and your tenant a clear record of the tenancy and the terms you’ve agreed to.

You can create:

• Fixed-term: Set a specific start and end date for the tenancy. In Alberta, the tenancy generally ends on the end date in the agreement unless you and your tenant agree to continue it.
• Periodic: Create an ongoing tenancy with no fixed end date. Month-to-month is the most common example.
• Hybrid: Start with a fixed term, then continue the tenancy as a periodic tenancy.

eLease guides you through the information needed to create your Alberta tenancy agreement instead of leaving you to build one from scratch. You can customize your terms and documents, send the completed agreement for e-signature and keep the signed agreement in your SingleKey account.

eLease guides you through the key details of your tenancy, including:

• Landlords, tenants and the rental property
• Tenancy type and dates
• Rent and payment details
• Security deposits
• Utilities and services
• Maintenance responsibilities and other agreed rental terms
• Additional terms, RTDS consulted clauses, and supporting documents

Your agreement should also include the Residential Tenancies Act statement required for written Alberta tenancy agreements.

SingleKey’s recommended terms are reviewed by RTDS experts for compliance. You can choose the terms that apply to your rental and edit them before sending your lease.
