When you use the Stortech-generated lease (the lease built from your configuration, rather than a PDF you upload yourself), the document now prints extra sections drawn from your settings: a summary of your policies, a protection acknowledgment the tenant initials, and, for Quebec-governed leases, an acknowledgment of important clauses they also initial.
There's nothing new to fill in: these sections reuse values the platform already knows from your configuration. The goal is that the concrete terms you apply show up in black and white on the signed document. See Create your own lease template with Stortech for generator setup.
The generated lease shown below uses sample data (name, unit, dates) that Stortech fills in for the preview — your real tenant data replaces these values once the lease is sent.
Summary of your policies
An Applicable policies and terms box is added to the lease, on the last page ("Terms and conditions"), after the late fee. It lists the terms you've configured, for example: access hours, refused-payment fee, notice before rent or rule changes, cure period after default, possible termination after non-payment, holdover penalty, abandoned or unclaimed property, governing law and judicial district.
Only the terms you've filled in appear (the box is empty/absent if none are configured). To adjust what's shown, edit the policy values in your lease configuration.
Important clauses (Quebec)
For a lease governed by Quebec law (the Governing region setting in the generator's Advanced settings), the same last page adds, before the policies box, a highlighted block, Important clauses brought to your attention, summarizing key clauses and asking the tenant to initial them: liability and insurance, abandoned or unclaimed property, automatic renewal, fees and access restriction on default, waiver and indemnification.
The tenant initials next to "I have read and accept the important clauses above." This acknowledgment is meant to strengthen the enforceability of the clauses under the Quebec Civil Code: in a contract of adhesion, important or onerous clauses are better protected when they are expressly brought to the tenant's attention.
Protection acknowledgment
On that same last page, a Protection acknowledgment block is added after the late fee (and, in Quebec, after the important-clauses block). The tenant initials it next to the line "I have read and accept the protection terms above".
The text covers both cases, so you never have to choose which one to print:
A protection was selected. The block names the chosen option, with its coverage and monthly cost, and states that it is billed monthly in addition to the rent.
No protection was selected. The block shows "No protection selected" and the tenant acknowledges insuring their stored property themselves, at their own cost, and agrees to provide you with proof of insurance on request; failing which you may enroll them in the minimum protection plan you offer.
The block as it prints, here with a protection selected.
When this block appears
The block and its initials only print when your facility offers at least one tenant-chosen protection: under Billing > Fees and charges, a protection whose Mode column reads Optional and whose Status is Active.
A Mandatory protection doesn't count: it applies to everyone, the tenant has no choice to make, so there is nothing to acknowledge. If you offer no optional protection, your lease prints exactly as before, with no extra text and no empty initials box.
See Protection plans to create or edit your protections.
Important. If you add your first optional protection after publishing your generated lease, republish the lease. The text and the initials box are placed at publication time: without republishing, new leases keep printing without the block.
Key points
Applies to the Stortech-generated lease, not lease PDFs you upload yourself.
The Quebec block only appears for Quebec-governed leases (based on governing law, which defaults to the facility's province).
Applies to new leases. As with any template change, already-signed leases stay as-is; republish your generated lease for these sections to appear on future signatures.
