How to change an inactive lease.

Overview

There are several cases where you might need to edit a lease you've already ended. Even though the lease is inactive, perhaps you got a surprise payment from a past tenant (lucky!) who moved out owing more than their deposit could cover. Maybe you realized that you recorded the wrong start or end date for the lease and you need to fix this. Less likely, you might need to add, delete, or edit transactions you later realize were created in error.

The Steps

  1. From the main menu, click on Leases and then click Inactive Leases.

  2. Find the lease you want to edit and click on it. You can either sort the list by the various columns and filters or use the Search Leases search bar.

  3. If you need to add or edit transactions, click on the Transactions tab. From here you'll be able to Post Charges, Receive Payments, Issue Credits, or Give Refunds if needed. You can also edit any of the transactions within.

  4. If you need to withhold or refund deposits, you can do so on the Deposits tab. You can also add or edit Notes, Files, and even Tenants using their respective tabs.

  5. If you need to edit the terms of the lease, click the Settings tab and then click the Lease Terms button.

    Change the Start date or End date as needed and click Save.

That's it! Despite having ended a lease, you were able to edit it later to add updated information and fix mistakes.
