This article explains how to add additional tenants after you have completed the initial setup workflow.
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 Rent and Deposit amounts. Modify them if needed.
Click the Add Tenant button for the unit. The Add New Tenant 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 16th.
The message states: "First month's rent of $600.00 for the partial month of November." The first month's rent is prorated according to the actual days in the month. The move-in day is included.
In this example, the rent is 1200 per month. The tenant will occupy the unit for half of the month, so he is charged 600.
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.
