Create a lease

A lease connects a resident (the lessee) to a unit for a period of time. It starts as a draft: add the lessee and any household members, then activate it.

Deleting a lease voids its unpaid invoices. Settle any due invoices before you delete one.

The unit shows as Leased, and the resident is linked to their home.
