Notarize a Contract of Lease Online
A notarized contract of lease protects both landlord and tenant. Notarization makes the lease a public document, gives it a fixed date, and makes it far stronger evidence in any dispute over deposits, rent, or eviction. Many condo corporations and visa applications also require notarized leases.
Landlords and tenants rarely share a city
Condo owners often live far from their units, sometimes abroad, while tenants sign in the city where they work. Online notarization lets both parties appear in one video session from wherever they are, so units get leased faster and both sides keep a properly notarized copy.
What you need
- The signed or ready-to-sign lease in PDF
- Valid government-issued ID for landlord and tenant
- Both parties present in the same video session, joining from anywhere
