Custom Signature Acknowledgments

Property laws and regulations can vary state by state and different types of inspections may require different acknowledgement language.

With custom signature acknowledgements, you can adjust the language that appears next to the inspection signature on the RentCheck mobile app and completed inspection reports.

  • Have specific expectations or disclaimers you want to communicate?

  • Need to ensure compliance with specific state or local legal requirements?

Custom signature acknowledgements offer a flexible, tailor-made solution to keep you covered while ensuring clarity and accountability.

You’ll be able to set up custom signature acknowledgement text for:

  1. All inspection templates across your account

  2. Individual custom inspection templates

Note: Custom signature acknowledgement saved for a specific inspection template takes priority over the account-wide (global) setting.

Where the text appears

  • Mobile signing screen – the performer will see your custom signature text right below the signature field.


  • Inspection PDF – the same text prints under the signature on the final inspection report.

Note: The inspection will use the custom signature text (whether set at the inspection template or account level) that’s in place at the time the inspection is created. This text can’t be changed afterward. If you need to update the signature text, you’ll need to create a new inspection with the updated version.

Setting Up Custom Signature Text

  1. Open Account > Inspection Messaging

  2. Choose the Signature Acknowledgement tab

  3. Pick a scope

    1. All Inspections: one custom signature text for every inspection template, including the RentCheck default templates

    2. Specific Templates: different custom text for chosen custom inspection templates

  4. Add or edit your text

    1. For All Inspections, click Customize, type your wording, and select Save

    2. For Specific Templates, click Add Template, select any custom templates, enter text, and select Save

  5. Need to remove the customizations later? Select Clear Customization, confirm, and you’re done.

    1. Clearing a specific template customization will return it to the account default, if you have one set up.

    2. If none is set up, it will return it to the RentCheck default text: "By adding your signature, you agree that this inspection is current, accurate, and complete to your knowledge."

Note:

  • You can see who last updated the signature text in the 'Last Edited' field beneath the customization.

  • Template-specific text overrides global settings. If you set custom text for both "All Inspections" and a specific template, the template-specific text will appear

The custom signature acknowledgment feature is only available on the RentCheck Professional Plan. For further information, visit our pricing page. To upgrade or start a free 14-day Professional trial, visit your billing page.
