In the following procedure, you check the unit setup before you add the tenant in order to make sure the rent and deposit amounts are correct.
To add tenants
Open the Property screen, and go to the Units tab.
Locate the unit the tenant will occupy and check the Market Rent and Deposit amounts.
Modify the Market Rent and Deposit amounts if needed.
Click the pencil button in the top right corner of the screen and make your changes.
Click the Save button once you have finished.
Click the Add Tenant button for the unit. The Tenant Information screen appears.
Complete the screen.
The property name, address, and unit number are completed by the system.
Enter the tenant's name and contact information.
Leave the status as Current.
Enter the lease from and to dates.
Click Save. A message appears, explaining the charges for the first month and the deposit.
Click Continue and Breeze will add the charges.
Adding a Tenant Mid-Month
If you are adding the tenant on a day other than the 1st, Breeze prorates the rent. In this example, the tenant is moving in on the 13th.
The message states: "First month's rent of $800.00 for the partial month of June."
The first month's rent is prorated according to the actual days in the month. The move-in day is included.
Last Month's Rent as a Move-in Charge
In some scenarios, tenants pay the first and last month's rent when they move in. Breeze does not handle this automatically. We recommend that you add a charge for the last month manually.
