Setting Up Units
What Are Units?
A unit represents a rentable space within a property. For a single-family home the property itself is typically one unit. For an apartment building each apartment is a separate unit.
Creating a Unit
From the property detail page, click Add Unit. You will need to provide:
- Unit Label — A short identifier like "101", "A", or "Main House". This label appears on leases, ledger entries, and work orders.
- Bedrooms & Bathrooms — The count of bedrooms and bathrooms. These are used for valuation estimates and listing details.
- Square Footage — Optional but helpful for rent comparisons and portfolio analytics.
- Market Rent — The monthly rent amount you intend to charge. This is used when generating new leases.
Unit Status
Each unit has a status that updates automatically:
- Vacant — No active lease is attached to this unit.
- Occupied — An active lease exists for this unit.
Managing Units
You can edit a unit's details at any time. If you need to take a unit offline temporarily (for renovations, for example), you can archive it. Archived units do not appear in occupancy counts or reports.
