Overview
If you create your leases in DoorLoop as draft leases to track the workflow as you go through the signing process with tenants, you'll likely need to edit or activate these draft leases once the tenant has signed their lease agreement.
If a tenant has already signed but the lease still isn't active, see Draft Lease Not Active After Tenant Signs in DoorLoop — this is expected behavior, since activation is always a manual step.
The Steps
Activate a Draft Lease
To activate a draft lease, click Leasing > Draft Leases from the main menu.
Find the draft lease you need to activate and click on the 3-dots to the right or it, then choose Activate Lease.
Once activated, the lease becomes active and the tenant can log into their portal and begin making payments.
Edit a Draft Lease
To edit a draft lease, click Leasing > Draft Leases on the main menu.
Find the draft lease you need to edit and click on the 3-dots to the right of it, then choose Edit.
Go through the New Lease wizard and make any changes that are needed.
If you're still saving this as a Draft Lease, click the X button on the "Lease saved as a draft" window. Otherwise select one of the other options if you're ready to continue to the next steps.
