Add the person's details, choose their agreement and check the signing package.
On this page
Confirm the intended role, contact details and agreement wording. Review changes to an already signed lease with qualified help before preparing a new document.
Step 1: Open People on the Lease
Open the draft agreement for the correct lease and choose People on the Lease. Check the tenants and landlord details. Keep the co-signer separate from people listed as tenants.
Step 2: Enter the co-signer
Under Other details, answer Yes to Are there any co-signers? Enter Legal first name, Last name and Email. Use Add another co-signer for another person. Check the details even if the person already applied.
Step 3: Choose the agreement
Under Which co-signer agreement should they sign?, choose Rentari's co-signer agreement, attached to the lease or My own agreement, uploaded later. Save the section. For your own agreement, add the actual file through the attachment workflow and check that it is in the package.
Step 4: Review the document and signers
Complete the builder and inspect the agreement and co-signer attachment. Check the person's name, obligations and email. On signature preparation, confirm the intended recipients and fields before sending. Track the request until the required signatures are complete.
Keep the roles clear
Review the agreement to determine what the co-signer promises. A saved name or applicant role does not establish a signed obligation. Rentari's co-signer fields are separate from its tenant fields.
Adding a co-signer to the builder does not by itself create tenant-portal access. Review the existing lease participants and invitation workflow separately if they need account access.
Check the result
- The draft and signing package identify the co-signer and the agreement they need to sign.
FAQs
Can I correct their name or email?
For an editable draft, return to People on the Lease, correct the co-signer row and save. Check the prepared document and recipients again. A sent request needs its own correction workflow.
Can I remove a co-signer?
In an editable draft, remove the row or answer No if there are no co-signers, then save and review the document. This does not release someone from an agreement already signed.
Can I add more than one?
Use Add another co-signer and enter a separate name and valid email for each person. Review each recipient before sending.
Can the co-signer pay through Rentari?
The builder entry alone does not provide portal payment access. Check the lease's participants and portal setup separately; do not change the person's legal role just to get past a screen.
Can someone else sign their fields?
Assign the fields to the intended person using the authority and process appropriate to the agreement. Do not use someone else's signature field just to complete the screen.
