AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES: You can create a legally binding obligation even if you did not sign the lease in person. Electronic signatures can and do create legally binding obligations. As such, be both careful and intentional when it comes to electronic signatures. If you are unsure about moving forward with a lease – don't use electronic signatures.
