EchoPM
Electronic lease signing

Version control for leases

Pull terms from your library, send for e-sign, and store the executed lease on the unit — not in 'lease_FINAL_v3.pdf'.

Paperless leasing

Stop emailing PDFs. Sign leases in one place.

Which version did they sign? Did the addendum make it in? When leases live in email threads, operators become the document management system.

The PDF problem

Emailing lease PDFs works until it doesn't — wrong version, missing initials, lost attachments, and no authoritative copy when a dispute or renewal comes up.

From terms to executed lease

Select lease language, send to tenants for signature, and file the completed agreement on the same record as applications and rent.

Before & after

Email attachments vs lease records

Paperless isn't a buzzword — it's knowing which lease is the real one six months from now.

Email & PDFs

Attachment archaeology

  • Multiple 'final' versions in threads — nobody trusts the file name
  • Addenda and initials get lost between manager, owner, and tenant
  • Executed lease lives in someone's inbox, not on the unit

EchoPM

Executed lease on the record

  • Terms library + send for e-sign in one workflow
  • Completed lease stored on the unit with the tenant relationship
  • Same record connects to rent, deposits, and maintenance later
Leasing workflow

Paperless from application to executed lease

Keep leasing inside EchoPM so move-in data doesn't get retyped at every handoff.

E-sign

Send for signature

Tenants sign in the flow you control — not a detached email attachment chain.

01 / 04

Leasing flow

Approve, sign,
and store

Three steps that replace the PDF ping-pong match.

01

Approve the applicant

Application data is already on the unit — you're not re-entering names and dates.

02

Send the lease

Pull terms, generate the lease, and send for electronic signature.

03

File and move in

Executed lease stays on the record; turn on rent collection when keys are ready.

Why paperless

Fewer disputes, faster move-ins

Leasing speed matters — but so does having one authoritative document when something goes wrong.

Terms you control

Build and reuse lease language instead of editing Word docs from memory each time.

E-sign in the flow

Tenants sign where they already applied — fewer drop-offs from email friction.

Single source of truth

The executed lease lives on the unit, not in three people's sent folders.

Integrated providers

Use EchoPM native signing or connect document providers when you need them.

Tied to rent

Move-in charges and rent schedules connect to the lease you actually signed.

Household applications

Joint applicants and roommates flow through the same application into one lease.

Do tenants need another account to sign?

Where is the signed lease stored?

On the unit and lease record in EchoPM — accessible to your team in the manager app, not buried in email.
