I'm a tenant and I want to have my landlord sign an entry inventory. I have a tablet and I can take photos. Is it possible to have the inventory signed directly on-site, with photos as attachments, without going back to paper?

Accepted answer

Yes, you can have an entry inventory signed on-site with photos without using paper. Here's how to proceed:

Create the inventory: Use one of the inventory templates available on Certyneo to prepare your document. You can customize it with your information and the details of the inventory.
Take photos: Use your tablet to take photos of each point mentioned in the inventory. Make sure the photos are clear and that all important areas are clearly visible.
Add the photos: On Certyneo, add the photos as attachments to the inventory. Certyneo allows you to insert attachments directly into the document.
Invite the signers: Send the inventory to your landlord with the in-person signature option. Certyneo will allow you to hand the tablet to your landlord so they can sign the inventory.
Signatures: Once signed, the inventory will be sealed with an electronic signature in PAdES format, guaranteeing the integrity of the document.

In practice, this inventory will be legally valid and you will avoid using paper. For more information, consult our page sign a residential lease online.
