How to remove a tenant from an existing lease.

Overview

If you have a lease with multiple tenants and one moves out, you will want to remove the tenant from the lease without ending the lease for the remaining tenants. In DoorLoop, moving a tenant out of a lease and keeping all the relevant information related to the move-out is easy.

Important: These instructions are not how you should end a lease when a tenant moves out. To do that, you should end the current lease which will also set the move-out date for the tenant. You will not be able to move-out a tenant if they are the only one on the lease.

The Steps

  1. To move-out a tenant from an existing lease, from the main menu, click Leases and then click Active Leases.

  2. Find the lease you want to remove a tenant from and click on it. You can either sort the list by the various columns and filters or use the Search leases search bar.

  3. Click on the Tenants tab and click the Move-out Tenant button.

  4. Click the + Add Tenant button to select which tenant to remove. You can add as many tenants as needed to move them all out.

  5. Enter the Notice date to record when the tenant gave you their move-out notice. Use the Move-out date to enter when the tenant actually left the property.

  6. Add any relevant files (optional) and click Save to finish moving out the tenant.

Note: If the Move-out date is set to a date in the future, that tenant can still access their tenant portal and still receive notifications until their move-out date is reached. If you set the date to a past date, they will no longer be able to access their tenant portal and will no longer get notifications.

Congratulations on moving out a tenant from an existing lease! You can also move-in tenants on an active lease if new tenants are joining the lease.
