9. TERMINATION; VACATING THE PREMISES: This lease shall terminate at the end of the Term or any renewal thereof without the necessity of any notice from either LESSOR or TENANT to terminate the same, and TENANT hereby expressly waives all right to any notice which may be required under any laws now or hereafter enacted and in force in Pennsylvania, including The Landlord And Tenant Act of 1951, Act of April 6, 1951, as amended.

It is also within the LESSOR'S discretion to use such deposit to compensate for loss or damage suffered or sustained by LESSOR due to a failure of the TENANT to keep and perform any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this lease.

What this Lease Agreement is and why it matters

The Lease Agreement between Progressive Bank NA and Angela I Stauver is a legally binding contract that sets the rights and obligations of the lessor (Progressive Bank NA) and the lessee (Angela I Stauver). It typically specifies the leased premises or asset, the lease term, rent and payment schedule, security deposit, permitted uses, maintenance responsibilities, default and remedy provisions, and any insurance or indemnity requirements. When executed correctly, the agreement governs occupancy and financial obligations and can be enforced in court; it may be executed electronically where ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and the applicable state UETA/ESRA rules permit.

Why a clear lease benefits both parties

A complete, well-drafted lease reduces dispute risk, clarifies payment and maintenance duties, preserves evidence for enforcement, and supports regulatory compliance. Electronic execution under ESIGN/UETA maintains legal validity when the parties meet intent, consent, attribution, and retention requirements.

Why a clear lease benefits both parties

Who typically uses this lease and in what roles

Common users include institutional lessors, individual tenants, property managers, and legal or compliance teams responsible for review and recordkeeping.

  • Institutional lessors and banks who manage leased assets and require standardized documentation.
  • Individual tenants or guarantors signing personal obligations and confirming identity.
  • Property managers and legal counsel who implement, review, and store lease terms.

Each user group has different needs: operations focus on workflow and signatures, legal focuses on clauses and enforceability, and finance tracks payment terms and tax reporting.

Representative signatories and roles

Progressive Bank NA

Institutional lessor and contract counterparty that typically controls payment routing, enforces lease remedies, and may require authorized officer signatures or delegated signing authority for lease execution.

Angela I Stauver

Individual lessee who must provide accurate legal name and identification, accept lease terms, and sign in the prescribed manner; mismatch in identity information can delay enforceability or trigger additional authentication requirements.

  • 01
    Gather documents: Collect IDs, prior agreements, and insurance info.

    Complete party details: Enter legal names and addresses exactly.
  • 03
    Set financial terms: Specify rent, deposit, and payment schedule.

How electronic execution and routing works

This is a typical online signing workflow for leases that uses sequential signing and a preserved audit trail.

  • Upload document: Add the lease PDF or DOCX to the signing platform.
  • Place fields: Insert signature, initial, date, and text fields.
  • Invite signers: Send email or secure link to each party.

Core components to review before signing

A professional lease should clearly separate operational, financial, and legal obligations so parties know exactly what is required.

Parties

Identify legal entities, including full legal names, entity types, and signature authority to ensure the contract binds the correct parties and avoids later challenges.

Premises Description

Describe the leased space or asset with precise identifiers such as address, unit number, parcel ID, or equipment serial number so the leased subject is unmistakable.

Term

Define the lease start, end dates, renewal options, and early termination provisions including notice periods and any rent adjustments on renewal.

Rent & Payments

Specify amount, due dates, acceptable payment methods, late fees, and any interest on overdue balances to avoid collection disputes.

Maintenance & Repairs

Allocate responsibility for routine maintenance, major repairs, and utility payments, and include insurance and indemnity obligations where appropriate.

Default & Remedies

State cure periods, acceleration rights, repossession or eviction procedures, and any indemnity or liquidated damages clauses for breach.

Recommended digital workflow settings for lease execution

Configure authentication, signing order, reminders, and retention before sending to ensure a compliant e-signing sequence.

Field Configuration
Authentication method Email link plus optional SMS code for signer verification.
Signing order Progressive Bank NA signs first, then the tenant for sequential approval.
Reminder schedule Send reminder every three days up to three reminders.
Audit trail Include timestamps, IP, and action log for each signer.

Technical considerations for eSigning and storage

Choose a platform that supports the file types you use, meets authentication needs, and preserves a tamper-evident audit trail.

  • File formats: PDF, DOCX supported
  • Integrations: CRM, cloud storage, and accounting
  • Security: TLS and AES-256 encryption

Confirm platform compliance for your industry (for example, HIPAA BAA for healthcare) and verify retention, export, and API capabilities for long-term recordkeeping.

Typical timing and recurring deadlines to track

Identify dates that trigger obligations: rent due dates, notice windows, and tax reporting timelines tied to lease payments.

Lease start date:

Date tenant may take possession and obligations commence.

Rent due dates:

Monthly due date and grace period if applicable.

Security deposit due:

When deposit is payable, often at lease signing.

Practical tips for accurate and efficient lease completion

Apply consistent practices to reduce errors, speed execution, and preserve enforceability.

Use exact legal names
Always enter party names exactly as on IDs or formation documents; mismatches can require corrective amendments and delay enforcement.
Preserve the audit trail
Keep the signing platform's certificate of completion, including timestamps and IP logs, to support attribution and defense in disputes.
Confirm authentication
Select an authentication level that matches transaction risk—email-only for low-risk, multi-factor or KBA for higher-risk leases.
Document amendments
Use signed amendment or addendum documents for any changes; avoid handwritten changes on printed copies without re-execution.
