Applicants will then need to create a tenant web access account, which will be used to (1) digitally sign the rental application and agreement and (2) pay the required $500 deposit to secure execution of the lease offered. When a lease is ready the applicant will receive notification that a new document is ready for their signature on tenant web access.
