I had a tenant break their lease a month early, and SingleKey stepped in to cover the lost rent for that month (Rent Guarantee Service). The process was straightforward, and the payout was prompt. It's reassuring to know that I have this kind of support as a landlord. Highly recommend!
Great service for landlords - especially tenant screening and education/knowledge parts of it. Customer service is very responsive and helpful. I've been a paying client of SingleKey for 2 years and will continue using this platform.
The agent Rahi spent nearly an hour with me, a senior, while I completed the forms online. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and patient as he walked me step by step through the process. Please recognize Rahi's efforts as extraordinary, excellent customer service skills and an overall gentleman. Titanic thanks!
very easy to use, I am a Realtor®, and I have used this for vetting tenants. The report is very indepth and helps me stay Fintrac Compliant.
SingleKey is a great tool for Landlords. Especially with all the fraudulent documents we are receiving these days. The roll out of the international credit checks is an amazing addition to an already great tool.
I've been using SingleKey for over a year now and it is seamless. And, on the few times I needed support, they responded promptly and were able to resolve my issue quickly. Thanks SingleKey for all of your help!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes, we use the Standard Ontario Residential Tenancy form as a template, that is available here. This is the lease form that is required to be used for all Ontario residential leases.

 

Section 15 of the Ontario Residential Tenant Agreement (standard lease), allows for Landlords and tenants to agree to additional terms. Examples may include terms that:

  • Provide rules for use of common spaces and/or amenities
  • Clarify rules for specific situations like: subleasing, short term rentals, smoking rules etc.

Including clear and compliant additional terms can go a long way to clarify responsibilities and avoid potential conflict between landlord and tenant responsibilities during the tenancy.

 

These terms should be written in plain language, in a readable font size of at least 10 points and cannot take away rights and responsibilities under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006

  1. Start by entering the rental unit, tenant, and landlord information, or select a recent application to automatically populate the lease with existing details.
  2. Select from the recommended additional terms drafted by our legal team, or upload your additional terms document that we will append at the end of the lease.
  3. Review and finalize your lease agreement by filling in any remaining blanks, such as who pays for utilities, key deposits, rent payment methods etc. 
  4. Send the final lease draft out for digital signatures to all tenants and owners listed on the lease via Dropbox Sign, then track who has signed the lease in your dashboard.
  5. Once all parties have signed, you will all receive a copy of the signed lease agreement via email.

Electronic signatures are legally recognized in Canada at the federal level by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), as well as by provincial specific legislation in each of the provinces and territories. For more information on this topic, visit this page.

This is a complimentary (FREE) service for landlords and tenants.

 

During the lease signing experience, we will offer the tenant the option to purchase renter’s insurance through our partners at Duuo (The Cooperators Subsidiary). This is an optional, unless you (the landlord) make it a required step for the renter to show proof of insurance before they are able to sign the lease.

 

It is important for Landlords to encourage tenants to get renter’s insurance as it does offset some of their liability on the rental unit. Learn more here.

Yes, eLease will soon be available in all provinces. We will notify you as we roll out this service to more provinces.
