Create waivers and forms for tenants to sign. Use them to acknowledge building policies, grant access to specific areas of your property, or help reduce liability.
Who Can Sign?
Tenants: Any tenant with an active Cove account can review and sign waivers and forms directly in the app.
Where Do Waivers and Forms Live?
You can share waivers and forms with tenants in four ways:
- Standalone in Quick Access: The waiver or form appears in Quick Access on the app home screen, where tenants can complete it at any time.
- Attached to Events: When a waiver is attached to an event or event template, tenants must sign it before their RSVP is confirmed, on web or mobile.
- Linked from Highlights: A highlight can include a button, such as "Sign Waiver", that opens the waiver for tenants. Signing isn't required to view the highlight.
- Door Access (Openpath or Genea): Link a waiver to a door access group. When a tenant signs, they automatically get access to that area, such as the fitness center, parking garage or bike room.
Common Use Cases
- Fitness center liability waivers
- Parking garage agreements and rules
