Frequently asked questions

Does Hivi-X generate the Ontario Standard Form of Lease?

No. Hivi-X collects and stores signed leases your team and tenants provide. Lease drafting and legal review remain your responsibility.

Can tenants upload a signed lease through the portal?

Yes. Add a signed lease item to your checklist; tenants upload via a secure guest link (no account needed) or my-id.ca. Your team approves or rejects the submission.

What about lawful addenda?

Store addenda as separate checklist items on the tenant record alongside the standard lease.
