Managing lease listings and applications can be overwhelming for landlords and real estate agents, often involving multiple layers of documentation, tight deadlines, and detailed tenant screening processes. With the increased volume of paperwork, communication, and tenant coordination, many find lease management to be time-consuming and prone to errors.
Fortunately, modern technology has transformed how leases are managed, making it simpler for landlords, tenants, and property managers to handle this complex process. Platforms like Jointly have integrated a suite of features to streamline lease management, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and ease of use at every step. By addressing common lease management pain points, Jointly helps real estate professionals and landlords stay organized, reduce errors, and manage leases more effectively.

One of the biggest challenges for landlords and agents managing multiple properties is staying organized. Whether it's handling documents, keeping track of lease terms, or ensuring deadlines for document submissions are met, the complexity multiplies as the number of tenants grows. Inefficient document tracking can lead to missed deadlines, lost paperwork, and ultimately dissatisfied tenants and landlords.
Jointly’s Listing Portal offers a streamlined solution, centralizing all lease listings in one organized space. This allows landlords and agents to easily access and share lease terms, manage deadlines, and track tenant interactions. Having a single hub to manage these processes removes the confusion of sifting through emails or scattered documents and makes it easier for both landlords and prospective tenants to stay on the same page.
Tenants can also begin the application process directly through the portal, where they’ll find all necessary documents and a clear checklist of what they need to submit, from personal identification to proof of income. This organized flow minimizes the risk of errors or delays, ensuring the entire lease listing and application process remains smooth.
Another common challenge is gathering lease application documents, which can vary from tenant to tenant. Landlords often need to request multiple forms of documentation, such as photo identification, tax returns, proof of income, and references. Without an efficient system for collecting and reviewing these, the process can become fragmented and delayed.
With Jointly, landlords can easily set up lease application requirements tailored to their needs. The platform allows for customization of the application process, where tenants can upload essential documents directly through the system. Landlords can then track application progress, ensuring they receive everything they need to make informed decisions.
This centralized approach makes it simple for landlords to see what’s missing and what’s been completed, reducing delays in the approval process. Jointly’s intuitive interface ensures that all relevant documents are in one place, eliminating the back-and-forth communication typically associated with missing or incomplete application materials.
Screening potential tenants can be a time-consuming and challenging part of lease management. Landlords typically need to check credit scores, perform background checks, and evaluate eviction histories, which can sometimes require multiple steps and separate tools. This not only delays the leasing process but also increases the risk of making uninformed decisions based on incomplete data.
Jointly addresses this issue by integrating TransUnion Tenant Screening Reports directly into the platform. This feature allows landlords to instantly access detailed credit and background reports for prospective tenants without leaving the platform.
By embedding the screening process into the same system used for applications, landlords can make faster, more informed decisions about tenant suitability. These comprehensive reports include credit history, criminal background checks, and eviction history, ensuring landlords have a complete picture of their applicants and can confidently proceed with leasing.
Unrepresented tenants—those not working with a real estate agent or lawyer—can often feel lost when navigating the complexities of lease agreements. This can lead to confusion, miscommunication, and delays in finalizing the lease. Landlords are frequently left answering questions or clarifying terms, which can slow the process.
Jointly provides built-in support to guide unrepresented tenants through the leasing process. With clear requirement checklists and digitized documents that are easy to fill out and sign, tenants are empowered to complete lease applications and agreements on their own, reducing confusion and minimizing landlord involvement.
Jointly ensures that every step of the leasing process is accessible, with clear task lists and deadlines. Whether a tenant is unrepresented or simply new to leasing, Jointly’s platform makes the process straightforward, ensuring all parties are on the same page.
Drafting leases manually can be cumbersome and prone to errors, especially when dealing with multiple properties or specific lease terms for each tenant. Omitting critical terms or incorrectly transferring information from the application to the lease can create legal issues or dissatisfaction down the line.
Jointly simplifies the lease drafting process by pulling data from the listing agreement and tenant application directly into the lease agreement. This automatic pre-filling ensures that all key terms, conditions, and tenant details are accurately transferred, reducing the time needed to prepare a lease and minimizing the risk of errors.
Once the lease is drafted, Jointly makes it easy to finalize agreements with on-platform e-signature capabilities, allowing all parties to sign remotely and securely. This ensures that leases are completed quickly, with no need for back-and-forth communication or delays in getting physical signatures.
