Preparing and signing the contract
A contract for the chosen applicant, their review, then signing with DÁP or a one-time code.
- 1On the listing, for the shortlisted applicant or the one invited to a viewing: Start a contract.
- 2Under Edit terms, check the rent, deposit, utilities, payment day, term, notice period and indexation. The landlord's name, address and bank account are required.
- 3Click Save and send to the tenant: it saves what you entered and sends it. After this the terms are locked.
The tenant enters their details needed for the contract and clicks I accept the terms (the final PDF is created), or Ask for changes. If they ask for changes, the contract goes back to draft.
Signing
Once you have both signed: “Both parties signed – the lease is running”. The listing closes, and you can download the signed copy with a signature clause.
- 1Acknowledge the reminder about the notarised move-out declaration: Acknowledge.
- 2Choose in what capacity you sign: as the owner, as a company's representative or under a power of attorney.
- 3DÁP (recommended): download the PDF, sign it in the DÁP app, and Upload signed PDF. We check it automatically.
- 4Or with a one-time code: Email me a signing code, enter the 6-digit code, and click Sign.
If someone other than the owner signs, a power of attorney is needed. On the Powers of attorney page you can upload an existing one (PDF), or issue one in Rentkey: for one contract, for named properties or a general one.
