How to Use Signatures for Property Management Approvals
Simplify the rental application process with electronic signature fields
To find the right tenant for your rental property, you need to be able to seamlessly collect a variety of forms. Paper forms often lead to messy, disorganized, and even incomplete applications. This can be a significant administrative burden for your team, resulting in disgruntled and unhappy employees. Not only does a lengthy process impact your internal team’s day-to-day operations, but, your applicants are faced with filling out several forms and then manually handing them into your office. This lengthy process means that your team spends more time focusing on mundane tasks like data entry and less on filling empty properties. Not only is this outdated process inefficient, but can be hard to scale as your business continues to grow.
With digital forms, your team can seamlessly collect forms such as rental history, tax returns, credit reports, applicant fees, and proof of income. For property managers, knowing certain information (like if the person is the age of 18 or older and if their income is three times the monthly rent) will determine their eligibility for the property. This critical information can be collected through a digital form and give you insight into whether the application is approvable or not.

Applicant and property management teams also need the ability to sign off on important contracts and documents with ease from their computer or mobile device. Digital forms simplify this process, allowing property management teams to easily equip their documents with electronic Signature fields. The drag-and-drop functionality of GoFormz allows even the least technologically savvy employees to create forms that look just like your existing rental application forms.
