How to Generate a Lease from an Approved Application
-
In the sidebar, select Applications.
-
Find an application with an approved decision.
⚠️ Heads up: Generate lease appears only on approved applications. Select Approve on the application first.
-
Select Generate lease on the application row. You can also open the application and select Generate lease at the top of the page.
-
In the Generate lease window, check the dates. Start date fills in from the applicant’s desired move-in date. End date falls 12 months later. Select 6 mo, 1 yr or 2 yr to change the term.
-
Check Monthly rent and Security deposit. Both fill in from the listing.
-
Enter the Rent due day, a day of the month from 1 to 28. The default is 1.
⚠️ Heads up: Generate lease stays disabled until Start date, End date, Monthly rent and Security deposit all have a value. The end date must be after the start date. You can generate only one lease per application.
-
Select Generate lease.
What to expect
A confirmation reads “Lease created from application”. The new lease is a draft in Leasing, under Drafts. To send it, follow How to Send a Lease for Signature.
