Adding tenants to your properties allows you to easily contact your tenant from the app using our handy email and SMS templates (or you can make your own templates!).
Note: Before adding a tenant you will need to add a property and add a lease.

To add a tenant, navigate to where you want to add the property. This can either mean adding it to your app contact book (for prospective tenants) or to one of your properties (for current tenants).
Add a Current Tenant to a Property on Mobile
Step 1: Use the hamburger menu bar at the top left-hand corner of the screen to select the relevant property. Then tap on the ‘Add Tenant’ box on your property dashboard.

Note: You will need to add an email and phone number to their details if you want to set up automated reminders or contact them through the app later.
Note: You can also import contacts from your phone's contacts by tapping on the diary icon next to the ‘First Name’ option. You will need to enable permissions for the app to access your contacts.
Step 3. Hit save and this tenant is now connected with the property.
