E-Signature Compliant Leases

  • LeasingE-Signature Compliant Leases

    Can I execute a digital lease with e-signature?

    Yes — you can execute residential leases with e-signature directly in Kompas through a direct integration with DocuSign. The lease is built in the leasing dashboard with its inclusions, parking, roommates and guarantors already set, sent for signature, and filed automatically once executed. In Quebec the document is an official TAL lease, since Kompas is a registered reseller of Quebec leases directly with the Tribunal administratif du logement.

    Once my lease is signed, do I have to enter the lease details again for accounting?

    No — all of the terms of the lease translate into the accounting system automatically on signature, for invoicing and receivable tracking. That is the practical payoff of one platform rather than two: the rent, the term, the inclusions and the charges you negotiated are the same record the first invoice is built from. Nobody retypes a lease into an accounting file, and there is no window where the two disagree.

    Can I see where a lease is in the signing process?

    Yes — the full audit trail of each signing envelope is visible in Kompas, showing when the document was opened, read and signed. From the same place you can resend the notification to a signer who has gone quiet, or void a lease that was issued incorrectly or is not going ahead. On a busy month-end that visibility is what stops someone chasing signatures by phone one tenant at a time.

    Can I add annexes to my lease before sending it for signature?

    Yes — you can build a custom annex library and attach annexes to any lease agreement before it goes out for e-signature. Common ones include building rules, pre-authorized debit forms, parking agreements, additional charge forms, quittance forms and security deposit forms. Because they are attached to the same envelope, everything is signed in one pass rather than chased separately after the lease is done.

    Does the leasing dashboard handle parking, inclusions, roommates and guarantors?

    Yes — when you create a lease in the leasing dashboard you can set inclusions, roommate statuses, parking and guarantors before the document goes to the tenant for signature through DocuSign. Those details are part of the lease record rather than notes attached to it, so the parking charge invoices correctly and the guarantor appears on the executed document without a manual amendment afterward.

    Do I need to file a copy of the executed lease myself?

    No — once a lease is executed it is filed automatically on the lease page in Kompas, in cloud storage, where anyone with the right permissions can find it. That includes the annexes signed with it. The tenant can also see their own lease document in the tenant portal, which removes most of the requests your office fields for a copy of a lease signed three years ago.

    Is the Quebec lease generated by Kompas an official TAL lease?

    Yes — Kompas is a registered reseller of Quebec leases directly with the TAL, so the lease you generate is the official document rather than a template that resembles one. Leases are produced in both English and French, and each is assigned a numerical code that can be referenced with the Tribunal administratif du logement in the event of a hearing. That code is what makes the document usable if a tenancy ends up in front of the tribunal.

    How do parking and locker revenues show up in my financials?

    Rentable items each carry their own GL code, so parking, lockers, amenities and services report separately from base rent rather than disappearing into one revenue line. Your financial reporting breaks down by income type — residential income, commercial income, recoveries, parking, lockers, discounts and so on. For an owner asking what the garage actually earns, the answer comes out of the general ledger instead of a side calculation.

    Are leases available in French and English?

    Yes — leases generate in both English and French, as do invoices, tenant notices and the tenant portal itself. In Quebec that matters for more than convenience: the TAL lease Kompas produces as a registered reseller is available in either language, each with its referenceable numerical code. For a portfolio spanning Quebec and other provinces, this removes the parallel document set most operators end up maintaining.

    What happens automatically the moment a lease is fully executed?

    Four things happen without anyone doing them: the lease terms translate into the accounting system for invoicing and receivable tracking, the executed document files itself on the lease page, the unit comes off your vacancy list in real time, and a move-in inspection is created in the maintenance workflow. The tenant can then pay their first month's rent and deposit through the portal, by Interac e-Transfer, or by setting up pre-authorized debit.
