Managing units

Units represent individual rentable spaces within a property. Each lease is associated with one unit.

Understanding units​

Examples​

  • Single family home: One property, one unit
  • Duplex: One property, two units
  • Apartment building: One property, many units

Adding units​

From property detail page​

  1. Go to Properties → Select a property
  2. In the Units section, click Add Unit
  3. Enter unit details:
    • Unit Number/Name (e.g., "1", "Basement", "Suite A")
    • Unit Type — Standard or Commercial; locked to match the parent property's type unless the property is Mixed Use
    • Bedrooms (optional, Standard units only)
    • Square Footage (optional, Commercial units only)
  4. Click Save

There's no Bathrooms field — Bedrooms and Square Footage are never both shown; it's one or the other depending on Unit Type.

During property creation​

When creating a new property, you can add units immediately after saving the property address.

  3. Keep details updated - Square footage affects some notices
