Els Support Modernizes Rental Contract Process

Els Support, a certified company offering rent debt guarantee services, proudly announces that starting August 19, 2026, it will allow electronic contracts for rent debt guarantee agreements through its web management system, LACTii KANRI. This initiative aims to simplify and expedite the rental contract process, addressing the challenges currently faced by property management companies.

Background and Purpose

Historically, rental debt guarantee agreements required extensive paperwork, demanding signatures and seals on physical documents. The cumbersome process involved collecting these documents and mailing them to Els Support, which not only wasted time but also created delays, especially when clients were geographically distant. High-traffic periods often intensified these complications, as increased contractual volumes strained the progress management tasks of property management companies.

In response, Els Support developed an electronic contract feature within LACTii KANRI, transforming the cumbersome paper-based procedure into a more efficient online process.

Overview of The Electronic Contract Feature

The newly implemented electronic contract function allows for the signing of the “Guarantee Commission Contract and Guarantee Contract” without any physical document exchanges. Key features include:

1. Utilization of GMO Sign: The electronic contracts are sent to the involved parties via email or SMS, allowing them to sign electronically using their computers or smartphones. This means that the signing process can be completed entirely online, tailored to the preferences and environments of the signatories.

2. Availability for All Clients: This function comes standard with the LACTii KANRI system and is accessible to all contracted property management companies without any additional fees for implementation.

3. Tracking Contract Status: Clients can check the signing status of the sent contracts via LACTii KANRI, facilitating the management of the progress of contracts—making reminders and resends more efficient.

4. Option for Paper Contracts: Traditional paper-based contract signing remains an option, ensuring flexibility according to the specific situation of the property and involved parties.

Benefits of This Implementation

• - Reduced Administrative Burden: By eliminating the need for physical document handling and the associated administrative tasks, property management companies can streamline processes. This efficiency is particularly beneficial during peak seasons or when parties are located far apart.
• - Enhanced Convenience for Tenants: Tenants can complete the signing process online, removing the necessity for in-person visits or mailing documents. Even if involved parties are in different locations, they can independently sign documents online without delay.
• - Minimized Document Management Burden: Using electronic contracts reduces the risks associated with physical document storage and retrieval, addressing the issues of misplacing contracts and the errors caused by missing information.

Future Prospects

Els Support is committed to further enhancing the LACTii KANRI system, focusing on the integration of robust service foundations that balance operational efficiency for property management companies and increased convenience for tenants. As an integral member of the Home Network Group, Els Support aims to collaborate with property management companies and owners to create a society where everyone can confidently choose their living spaces.
