Sending a contract for signature
Choose how the landlord side of the signature gets handled before the tenant signs.
Choosing how you sign
When sending a generated contract for signature, you choose how your own signature is handled: sign now (you sign immediately, before it goes to the tenant), sign later (the tenant signs first and you're prompted to sign once they've finished), or use a saved signature already on file for your account so you don't have to draw or upload it again each time.
Save your signature once in Settings › Signature and logo — draw it, type your name or upload an image — and it is ready every time.
Sending it
Every signer signs from their own device, with no Keyio account and nothing to install.
- 1Open the document in the rental's documents and click Send for signature.
- 2Check the signers: the tenants of the rental are proposed; use Add signer for a guarantor or a co-owner. Each one needs an email.
- 3Choose how you sign and send. Each signer receives an email with a secure link to read and sign the document, confirmed by a code sent to their email.
Following it until it is signed
The document shows Pending signature and how many have signed ("1/2 signed"). If your own signature is needed, Action required tells you straight away; if a signer has not signed after three days, it reminds you too.
When everyone has signed you get an email, and Download signed gives you the signed PDF with a certificate page recording who signed and when.
Signed on paper? Use Mark physical signature and choose who signed by hand: the document is recorded as signed on paper, with today's date.
