Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Can Australian tenancy agreements be signed electronically?

Yes. Electronic tenancy agreements are recognised under most state Residential Tenancies Acts and the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth). Some states have specific requirements — e.g., the tenant may need to consent to receiving documents electronically.

Do state-specific tenancy laws apply to Zignature-signed agreements?

Yes. Zignature provides state-specific tenancy agreement templates aligned with each state's Residential Tenancies Act. The signed document must still comply with state-specific provisions — signing method doesn't affect substantive law compliance.

Can Australian property managers use Zignature across multiple states?

Yes. Zignature's multi-state template library covers the major states. Property managers with national portfolios can select the appropriate state template for each property.

Does Zignature work with Australian property management software?

Zignature integrates with property management platforms via Zapier and API. Connect to PropertyMe, PropertyTree, Re-Leased, or similar AU property management software.

Are electronically signed Australian tenancy agreements valid for bond/deposit lodgement?

State-specific bond lodgement requirements apply. The tenancy agreement itself can be signed electronically — bond lodgement with the relevant state authority (NSW: Fair Trading, VIC: RTBA) follows that state's lodgement process.

Can commercial property leases in Australia be signed electronically?

Yes. Commercial property leases in Australia are not subject to the same residential tenancy laws and can be executed electronically under ETA 1999 for most commercial lease types. Retail leases in some states have specific formality requirements — consult a property lawyer.
