Quick answer

Create lease: Build the lease with parties, unit, schedule, amounts, and attachments so the rental workflow can go live. In Renteric, follow these key steps: Choose the unit and parties, Set the schedule and payment rules, and Add guarantors and attachments. Finish by validating that the lease becomes operational with due dates, collections, documents, and portals all synchronized.

Before you start

  • Have the property, unit, tenant, and owner already created.
  • Know the start date, end date, base amount, and billing cadence.
  • Gather the required addenda or contract templates.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Choose the unit and parties

    Select the property, unit, tenants, and owners to define who participates in the lease.

  2. 2

    Set the schedule and payment rules

    Fill in the dates, base rent, billing frequency, due day, and collection method so the financial calendar is generated correctly.

  3. 3

    Add guarantors and attachments

    Link guarantors, deposits, addenda, and key clauses so the lease package is complete.

  4. 4

    Configure automations

    Enable reminders, renewals, interest rules, or adjustments to avoid manual follow-up during the term.

  5. 5

    Review and publish

    Review the final summary, generate documents if needed, and activate the lease once every dependency is correct.

Common errors

The lease cannot be activated

A required party, an available unit, or a valid amount is missing.

Use the lease summary to correct the flagged fields and retry activation.

Due dates are not generated

The billing cadence or due day was not configured.

Return to the financial section and complete the billing rule before saving.

FAQ

Can I leave the lease as draft?

Yes. Draft mode lets you complete data without activating collections or portal access.

Does the lease create invoices automatically?

It depends on the lease setup. If billing automation is enabled, due items are generated from the defined rule.

Can I change the unit after activation?

Yes, but review the effects on documents, payments, and reporting before changing an active lease.
