How to Send and Execute Lease Extensions Online with SignCEO
Retaining existing tenants is significantly more cost-effective than turning over vacant units. When a tenant agrees to extend their lease for another 12 months, requiring them to physically sign paper addendums or visit an office introduces friction and gives them time to reconsider.
With SignCEO, landlords upload lease extension addendums detailing revised rent rates, new term dates, and reaffirmation of original lease covenants. Add signature lines and automated date fields, then dispatch via secure email. Tenants and co-signers review and execute renewals in minutes on their smartphone without downloading software or creating accounts.
