SiteLink Integrated Leases Offer Reliable, Low-Maintenance Solution

Formatted, ready-to-go leases simplify rental process for storage operators

SiteLink, the global leader in cloud-based software and payment processing for self-storage operations of all sizes, offers software-ready leases for self-storage operators by cultivating partnerships with multiple U.S. state Self-Storage Associations (SSAs). SiteLink Web Edition offers many state rental agreements that are formatted to work with SLWE “out of the box,” accessing the most current lease available directly through the software.

Highlights

  • Up-to-date, accurate, ready-to-go leases speed up rental process
  • A majority of state SSAs share current leases with SiteLink for formatting
  • Pre-formatted state leases are SiteLink eSign™ ready

Official state SSA leases resolve uncertainties; SiteLink’s integration saves time for operators

Signing a rental agreement can be a complicated, time-consuming task for owners and tenants alike. Leases vary from state-to-state due to differences in law and lease requirements. The dynamic partnership between SiteLink and state SSAs resolves any uncertainty and simplifies the rental process. SiteLink currently incorporates eighteen state association-approved rental agreements and is working with the others to bring them onboard.

How leases integrate with SiteLink

Once SiteLink receives the current lease from a state SSA, SiteLink engineers carefully configure it into a regular (SiteLink formatted) version as well as a version formatted to work seamlessly with SiteLink eSign™ electronic signature capture and storage. The SiteLink-ready lease versions are then sent back to the state SSA.

Leases are SiteLink eSign™ ready

Storage operators can add a properly formatted lease without additional edits into SiteLink and start using SiteLink eSign immediately. SiteLink eSign electronic signature capture and storage increases rentals by streamlining the rental process and reduces the need for paper and its large footprint of file storage. Operators can collect signatures electronically at stores, via email and also from their website or kiosk. Managers store paperless, executed leases in SiteLink and are able to email and audit them at any time and from anywhere using SiteLink’s eFile Management. Leases are stored for seven years after a tenant vacates. SiteLink eSign is included free of charge to all SiteLink Web Edition customers.

SSAs control lease distribution

To gain access to the most up-to-date SSA lease directly through their SiteLink Management software, facility owners need to join their SSA if they haven’t already done so. Once a facility becomes a member, the owner should contact their SSA and request instructions on how to gain access to the formatted lease. Members may need to specifically ask their association for a copy that is specifically ready to work with SiteLink. The state association will then provide details on how to upload the lease into SiteLink.

Many state SSAs have leases available for members as a download from their website. State SSAs that are managed by the National Self Storage Association are handled by each state SSA’s legal department as individual requests. A license agreement, which expires if SSA dues are not paid, may be required – in which case a facility may be randomly asked to submit a copy of their current lease in use to show they are not using SSA copyrighted material.

State Self-Storage Associations across the United States provide opportunities for self-storage owners and operators to learn, share and improve their business. Check out SiteLink's SSA webpage to learn which state SSAs already have SiteLink-formatted leases.
