Drafting and e-signing a lease

Every executed lease lands as a verified-by-Turtini PDF (QR + SHA-256) hash-chained into the audit log — anyone can verify the file at /verify/:id and detect a single-byte tamper.

Step-by-step:
1. Rental → Leases → "+ New lease".
2. Pick the Property and unit. Tenant: select an existing Contact or create a new one inline.
3. Term: start, end, renewal type (Fixed / Month-to-month / Auto-renew). Rent: monthly amount, payment day, late fee policy (defaults from Settings).
4. Pick a lease template — start with the platform default, or upload your state-specific template. Templates support {{tokens}} that auto-fill from the lease record (tenant name, dates, rent, etc.).
5. Click "Send for signature". The tenant gets an email with a one-time signing link. Multi-tenant leases collect signatures from every tenant in sequence.
6. Once all parties have signed, the lease moves to **Active** and the verified PDF is stamped, archived in Documents, and emailed back to all parties.

While the lease is active:
• Rent invoices auto-generate on the payment-day cadence and post to Accounting AR.
• Late fees auto-apply on day N+1 (configurable in Settings).
• Expiration reminders fire 90 / 60 / 30 / 7 days before end date.
• Tenants can pull up the executed PDF any time from their Customer Portal → Rental tab.

Renewing:
Click "Renew" on an active lease. The form pre-fills from the existing lease — adjust the rent, term, or any clauses, send for signature. The original lease moves to **Renewed** when the new one executes.

Terminating early:
Use "Early termination" — captures the reason, the move-out date, and any negotiated buyout. Generates the termination addendum as a verified PDF and moves the lease to **Terminated** on the move-out date.
