Edit a draft lease agreement
Check the agreement status before correcting a draft or removing an unused document.
On this page
Confirm whether you are changing the agreement document, lease profile or signature request. Keep the original signed agreement.
Step 1: Check the agreement status
Open Lease profiles, choose the tenancy and open Agreement. Check the document and signing status. A profile holds tenancy records; changing it does not rewrite a signed agreement.
Step 2: Correct an unsigned draft
Expand Documents & history when shown and choose Edit terms for an eligible draft. You may also see Continue setup or Review details. Open the builder section that needs correction and save it. Use Review agreement or Preview lease when offered to check the result.
Step 3: Review the saved version
If a generated draft exists, follow the preparation steps to apply changed answers. Review the resulting document. Use Advanced Editor for document wording that standard fields do not cover.
Step 4: Handle a sent or signed agreement
Awaiting signatures and Partially signed show View signature status rather than Edit terms. Do not assume text edits reach an active request. Follow the available correction actions or contact support. Keep signed agreements and prepare the appropriate addendum or new agreement.
Remove an unused document
For an eligible unused document, open Documents and its Actions menu, then Delete. Read the confirmation and keep any copy you need first. Deletion is permanent.
Rentari refuses deletion of an active or binding document, and of the agreement linked to a live lease. Do not end or withdraw a real tenancy just to remove a draft. Read the reason and contact support if the correct recovery is unclear.
Choose the right action
Delete in a document row concerns that document. Delete lease concerns the tenancy record and has separate restrictions. End lease moves a completed tenancy to Past while keeping its history.
For tenant, address or landlord changes after signing, review the intended legal change first. Profile edits and uploaded replacements do not amend the signed copy. The tenant-addendum guide explains the current supported choices.
Check the result
- The corrected draft is reviewed, or the existing agreement is preserved with a clear next step. Editing alone sends nothing.
FAQs
Can I edit a partially signed agreement here?
The current workspace freezes sent wording and opens signature status. Follow the request-specific correction process; do not assume previous signatures carry over.
Does Edit details change lease wording?
No. A document row's Edit details changes its document information. Use the agreement's Edit terms action for an eligible draft.
Should I delete the agreement after move-out?
Keep the signed agreement. Use End lease for the finished tenancy and retain its records.
Why is Delete unavailable or refused?
Signing history or an agreement linked to a live lease can block removal. Read the reason. Deleting the whole lease is not a workaround.
What if I only need a signature?
Check the existing request and its reminder options. Rebuilding is unnecessary when the document is correct.
