Forum / Leasing Issues / Lease
I am e signing a lease with a tenant whom lives 6 hours away. It says I must provide a hard copy within 3 business days, now does that mean it should be postmarked within the 3 business days or delivered in 3 business days? I am just trying to figure out if I should send reg us mail, or will i need to overnight the lease.

RE: Lease
Is there a reason you can't send it via email as a PDF file?

I would email him the PDF and tell him in the note with the PDF that you are mailing hard copy. Keep receipt of postage for tax deduction and evidence of sending.

RE: Lease
Hard copy may not be required. CA Code 1950.5 in part: After either the landlord or the tenant provides notice to terminate the tenancy, the landlord and the tenant may also agree to have the landlord provide a copy of the itemized statement along with the copies required by paragraph (2) to an email account provided by the tenant.
