The Playbook / Live It / Firstly — Apply, Approve, Move
Identify your lease.
Not every lease is the same. Before we can tell you what to look for, let's figure out what kind of lease you're holding.
Note
You don't need to know what any of this means yet. Answer what you can — we'll explain the "why" once we know the "what."
Question 1 of 4
Do you see an "NAA" logo or the words "National Apartment Association" anywhere in the header, footer, or on the signature page?
It usually appears as a small blue-and-white NAA mark or in fine print.
Question 2 of 4
Do you see "Blue Moon" or "bluemoon" referenced anywhere in the document or the online signing portal?
Blue Moon eSignature is the software most professional communities use for NAA leases.
Question 3 of 4
Does the lease follow a very standardized, form-style layout with numbered paragraphs and pre-printed community addenda?
Question 4 of 4
Does the lease look like a Word document, mention a specific attorney or law firm, or feel "written from scratch" for one landlord?
