↗ · What it's for
Paper rental applications come back incomplete, illegible, or not at all. A Sign Sail application is one link or QR code: the applicant fills their details, uploads ID and proof of income from their phone's camera roll, and signs the screening consent, all in one pass. You start screening from a complete file the same day as the showing.
Worth knowing · Tenant-screening laws (what you may ask, fees, adverse-action notices) vary by jurisdiction. This template structures the application; confirm your questions and consent language meet your local rules.
When to use it
- Property managers handing applicants a QR code at the showing
- Independent landlords collecting complete applications without printing
- Agencies screening multiple applicants per unit from identical, comparable files
- Student and seasonal rentals processing application batches each term

↗ · Questions
The template, answered.
Can applicants upload documents with the application?
Yes. File-upload fields accept JPG, PNG, HEIC, PDF, and DOCX, so applicants photograph their ID and pay stubs straight from the phone. Uploads are served behind your authenticated session, not from a public URL. (File uploads are on paid plans, from 10MB per file on Pro.)
Is the signed screening consent valid?
Yes. The consent checkbox plus signature is captured with the applicant's IP, a timestamp, and a frozen copy of the consent language, which is the documentation you want before running a credit or background check.
How do I compare applicants?
Every application lands as structured data in one table, exportable to CSV or Excel, so you compare like with like instead of deciphering handwriting across three different paper forms.
