DocFila's Rental Agreement builder is meant for individual landlords and small property managers. It covers the parties, the property, the lease term, rent, deposits, utilities, maintenance, house rules and legal terms, and exports a PDF or an editable Word file. Rental law differs by place, so have the result checked against your local rules. DocFila does not provide legal advice.

Open DocFila and start the Rental Agreement from the contract tools, on web, iOS, or Android.
Work through the builder's sections (parties, dates, amounts, terms) and edit the wording before you export.
Send a signature request by email. The signer opens a secure link, consents to sign electronically and verifies with an emailed one-time code. Set the signing order if needed.
The signed PDF is saved to your DocFila documents, which are encrypted at rest, with a certificate of completion and an audit trail. Optionally check its fingerprint with DocFila Verify.
DocFila e-signatures are electronic signatures under the US ESIGN Act and UETA, and simple electronic signatures (SES) under the EU eIDAS Regulation — not advanced (AES) or qualified (QES) electronic signatures. Signing records your consent, an emailed one-time verification code, a hash-chained audit trail, and a tamper-evident seal on the signed PDF. Some documents usually should not be signed electronically — wills, certain court filings, and documents that require notarization or a qualified signature. This is general information, not legal advice: local law and your document type decide what your agreement needs.
Yes. In the builder you can edit the fields and the wording before you export the PDF; for an agreement you bring yourself, DocFila's PDF editor can change text and add fields.
DocFila does not provide legal advice, and its contract builders have not been reviewed for your jurisdiction or situation. For high-value, cross-border, or regulated transactions, have a lawyer review the final draft.
E-signing is included in the DocFila Free plan. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month (Premium) and add AI credits and storage.
