Lease E-Signature

For Landlords & Tenants

Sign the Ontario standard lease, without DocuSign

Self-hosted signing built around the Form 2229E (OREA) standard lease. Identity-verify each signer with a one-time code, lock the document with a SHA-256 hash, and ship a Certificate of Completion when everyone is done.

01 / Auto-fit signature

Auto-fit signature fields on the standard lease

Signature, initial and date boxes snap to the right rows on the OREA Form 2229E template — no dragging required. Witnesses, guarantors and multiple tenants are placed in order.

  • Pre-mapped to every signature row on Form 2229E
  • Supports landlord, tenant, witness and guarantor roles
  • Sequential signing — next signer is emailed automatically
  • Drop-in signature, initial or text fields when you need extras

02 / OTP-verified signing

OTP-verified signing with a tamper-evident hash

Each signer receives a magic link, then enters a 6-digit code sent to their email. The PDF is hashed at envelope creation and re-hashed at signing time — any change invalidates the signature.

  • One-time code with rate-limited retries
  • IP and user-agent captured per signer
  • SHA-256 document hash recorded at every step
  • Append-only audit log for every event in the ceremony

Certificate of Completion you can hand to the LTB

When the last signer is done we composite the signed PDF and stitch on a Certificate of Completion: each signer’s name, email, IP, signing time, document hash, and the full audit trail.

  • Signed PDF with embedded signatures and timestamps
  • Certificate covers intent, association and integrity (ECA 2000)
  • Both parties get the bundle by email
  • Hearing-ready evidence in one click

Sign from any phone — no app, no scanner, no printing

The signing portal is a mobile-first web page that works in any browser. Tenants can finger-draw or type their signature, and the signed lease lands in their dashboard the moment the ceremony completes.

  • Works on iOS, Android and desktop browsers
  • Draw or type signature with handwriting font
  • Consent + identity capture meets PIPEDA + Ontario ECA 2000
  • Decline-with-reason flow if a signer does not consent
