Accept your invitation and sign your tenancy agreement

Guide updated: A tenancy that has ended is now listed under Past rentals, below your current one.See all changes to this guide

Your property manager has added you to Autorentic and sent you a tenancy agreement to sign. This guide shows how to set your password, read the agreement and sign it. It takes about ten minutes. You sign on the screen, so there is nothing to print.

Prefer to watch first? This 30-second video shows the same screens, with no sound.

You need the email address your property manager used to invite you. If the invitation email does not arrive, ask your property manager to check that address.

  1. Open the email with the subject You have been invited to Autorentic!
  2. Click Create your account password now.

The button opens a page where you set your password.

Later, you also receive an email with the subject Your Tenancy Agreement Is Ready to Sign. It tells you the agreement is ready for your signature.

  2. Type the same password in Confirm new password.

You also receive an email with the subject Signed Tenancy Agreement, with the signed agreement attached.

Your property manager signs next. If the agreement names a witness, the witness signs too.

Billing starts only after everyone has signed. Until then, the page shows Nothing is charged until everyone signs, and the Next invoice date reads After everyone signs.

When the last signature is in, your first invoice is created. It includes the first month’s rent and any one-time charges in your agreement, such as a deposit. To pay it, follow Paying your rent online.

If you do not sign by the Sign by date, the page says the signing window has closed. It asks you to contact your property manager, who can prepare the agreement again so that signing opens.

Sign before the Sign by date. If the rent, the unit or the dates on the agreement are not what you agreed, contact your property manager before you sign, or click Ask for changes.
