Quick answer

Create tenant: Create the tenant record with identity, portal access, documents, and contact channels so the lease can run without gaps. In Renteric, follow these key steps: Load core identity, Define communication and portal access, and Attach documents. Finish by validating that the tenant is ready to sign, pay, receive notices, and use the portal without extra manual support.

Before you start

  • Have the name, id document, and main contact information.
  • Know whether portal access will be enabled.
  • Gather supporting documents or backup contacts if they exist.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Load core identity

    Register the name, id document, birth date, and main contact to create the tenant master record.

  2. 2

    Define communication and portal access

    Choose the email, phone, and whether the portal will handle payments, documents, maintenance, and notifications.

  3. 3

    Attach documents

    Upload ID, pay stubs, or internal forms needed for operational validation or screening.

  4. 4

    Add backup contacts and preferences

    Add guarantors, emergency contacts, or notification preferences to reduce future friction.

  5. 5

    Verify the portal experience

    Test the invitation, login, and initial messages to make sure the tenant understands how to operate.

Common errors

The portal invite never arrives

The email is wrong or the invite was triggered before the record was saved.

Save the record, correct the contact, and resend the invite from Access.

Data is missing when creating the lease

The tenant record is missing the document, contact information, or active link.

Review the Identity section and complete the required fields before moving on.

FAQ

Can I add multiple tenants to one lease?

Yes. Each person needs a record and can then be linked as a primary or co-tenant.

What if I do not want to enable the portal yet?

You can keep the record active without access and enable the portal later from the same screen.

Are tenant documents shared with the owner?

Not by default. Only authorized staff can see sensitive documents unless you explicitly publish them.
