About MakeLease

Many online lease tools put the lease itself behind a free trial, a credit card form or a monthly subscription. For a landlord who rents out a duplex or a few single-family homes, that is a lot of friction for one document a year. MakeLease lets you create a lease and have it e-signed without entering payment details. A free account is required to generate, save and e-sign the lease; the full conditions are on the pricing page.

We built it for small, independent landlords: people who manage their own units, often alongside another job, and who want a clear lease and a clean signing process rather than a full property-management suite.

• Lease generator. A step-by-step wizard covers the property, landlord and tenants, rent and deposits, utilities, house rules, maintenance and disclosures, and produces a lease PDF. Learn about the lease generator.
• E-signature. Tenants receive an email link and sign in the browser without creating an account. Each signature is recorded with a timestamp, IP address and browser details as an audit trail.
• Forms. Common landlord notices, letters, addenda and checklists on the forms page.
• Light landlord tools. Property records, lease renewals and rental property calculators for cash flow, cap rate and similar numbers.
• Landlord-tenant law research. State-by-state summaries in the landlord-tenant law section, with each fact linked to its official source.

We would rather you know the limits up front.

• No rent collection. MakeLease does not process rent payments or hold tenant funds.
• No credit or background screening. We do not run credit reports, criminal background checks or eviction history searches.
• No legal advice. MakeLease is not a law firm. Our lease template is a general residential template you customize; review it against your state and local law before you use it. It has not been reviewed by an attorney for your state, and city or county rules (such as rent control, just-cause eviction or deposit ordinances) can add requirements it does not cover.

Our landlord-tenant law pages are researched from primary sources such as state statutes on official legislature websites and government agency pages. Every legal fact links to the source it came from and shows the date we last read that source. Pages say plainly whether they have been reviewed by an attorney; unless a named attorney reviewed a page, it is labeled as not yet attorney-reviewed.

The full process, including how we use AI research tools and how to report an error, is in our editorial policy. What our content can and cannot be relied on for is set out in the legal disclaimer.
