How to Sign a Lease Renewal or Addendum on Your Phone Without an Account
You can prepare and sign a Lease Renewal or Addendum locally without a SignaraScan account when the recipient accepts electronic handwriting. Confirm that rule with the leasing office before drawing on the PDF. For paper-signature requirements, sign the original first and scan the signed page.
Your practical walkthrough
Prepare this specific packet
Use the current version from your leasing office. Check original lease date, extension term, new rent, changed clauses and signatures. Count attachments and any required reverse sides.
Add your signature and date
Draw your own signature, position it inside the signature field and review any required initials.
Inspect the exported PDF
Save a separate final copy. Confirm that no signature, date or required page is missing before sharing.
Check this before you send
Read the renewal alongside the original lease. A pet or parking addendum can change a specific term without replacing the whole agreement. Ask the manager to identify any required initials and retain both versions.
Packet checklist
Before returning it to the leasing office, check original lease date, extension term, new rent, changed clauses and signatures. Compare every entry against the supporting record; one missing digit can delay routing.
Use a descriptive filename such as lease-renewal-addendum-signed-2026-10-28.pdf. Keep the clean source, the exact final PDF and any recipient acknowledgment together. Do not put a Social Security number or bank account number in the filename.

Questions people ask
Where should I send a Lease Renewal or Addendum?
Use the destination given by your leasing office or the current official instructions. Do not use an unverified number from a generic cover template.
Can I sign this on my phone?
Read the renewal alongside the original lease. A pet or parking addendum can change a specific term without replacing the whole agreement. Ask the manager to identify any required initials and retain both versions.
Can I keep an editable copy?
Keep the source and annotation data separately from the final export. A flattened PDF is a visual record, not an identity-verified signature certificate.
Do I need an account?
Not to scan, sign, annotate or export locally. Fax and optional cloud backup require an account.
