How to Integrate Padder into Your Leasing Process

Integrating Padder Lease Coverage is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps for a seamless experience:


Step 1: Create Your Padder Account


Step 2: Add Your Commercial Properties

  • Navigate to the "Add Rental Property" section.
  • Enter the required property details.
  • Click "Complete Enrollment".
  • Return to your dashboard to manage your portfolio.

Tip: Add all your commercial properties for streamlined management.


Step 3: Educate Prospective and Existing Tenants

  • Prospective Tenants:
    Introduce Padder during lease discussions before signing. Share marketing materials from the Padder Resource Centre.

  • Existing Tenants:
    Offer Padder to replace their letter of credit or cash deposit. This provides:

    • Unpaid Rent: Coverage up to the agreed limit.
    • Legal and Remedial Action Fees: Up to $10,000.
    • Vacancy/Re-leasing Costs: Up to three months’ rent.

    This option frees up cash or credit for business growth. Tenants should first consult their bank about cancelling their letter of credit, then proceed.


Step 4: Invite Tenants to Apply

  • In your Padder account, go to the "Add Lease" section.

    Enter Lease Details:

    • Building & Unit Information: Select the building and enter the unit number or name.
    • Lease Details: Enter total Sqft, amount per Sqft, maintenance per Sqft, yearly increase per Sqft, free rent (months), and prepaid rent (months).
    • Click "Continue."

    Choose Coverage Options:

    • Select a coverage period (6, 9, or 12 months) excluding prepaid rent, concessions, and security deposits.
    • Click "Continue."

    Enter Tenant Contact Information:

    • Provide the tenant’s email address. For multiple renters, click "Add Renters +" and add additional emails.
    • Click "Continue."

    Choose Rent Loss Protection:

    • Select the protection duration (12, 24, or 36 months).
    • Click "Continue."

    Copy Your Unique Lease Code:

    • Click the clipboard icon to copy the lease code.
    • Store the code safely for future reimbursement requests.

    Return to Dashboard.

  • Quick Application Outcome:
    Tenant application results are provided within 24 business hours after submission.


Step 5: Tenant Agreement & Purchase

  • Once approved, the tenant agrees to Padder’s terms and purchases the Lease Coverage guarantee.

Step 6: Finalise the Lease

  • For Prospective Tenants:
    Complete the lease signing and include the Padder Addendum (available HERE in the Padder Resource Centre) in the lease.
  • For Existing Tenants:
    Once approved, the tenant should coordinate with their bank to cancel their letter of credit, update lease records, and include the Padder Addendum.
