Property — landlords and agents

Setup — your own numbers, groups and fees

Property → Setup holds what you would otherwise ask a developer to change. Only the owner and managers open it.

Unit numbers

Format Example
Floor numbers 101, 102 · 201, 202 · G01, M01
Floor letters A1, A2 · B1, B2 · G1, M1
One running number 1, 2, 3, 4

The company has a default, and each building can have its own. With floor letters, G and M mean the ground and the mezzanine, so the floors skip those letters: the 6th is F, the 7th H. A building with its own letters types them in What each floor starts with. A Prefix goes in front of every number: A with 101 gives A101.

To renumber a building you already have:

  1. Open Property → Setup, choose the format and press Rename units.
  2. Pick the building and check the list of every old and new number.
  3. Confirm. Tenancies, meters and balances stay with the unit; invoices already issued keep the number they were printed with.

Groups, the service fee and your lists

  • Floors: name your ground floor and mezzanine the way you say them.
  • Unit groups: several units known by one name, such as a madarasa or a masjid. On Units, tick them and type the name under Group under one name (none takes them out). Each unit keeps its own tenancy, rent and invoices.
  • The service fee for looking after a landlord's unit: a percent of rent or a fixed amount a month, per building, with a default for new buildings. A unit can have its own, on its form or for many at once on Units. A fee set on a unit whose landlord lives in it is billed to them with the month's charges.
  • Property types and sale conditions are your own lists: add, rename (everything using it follows), move, hide or delete one nobody uses. A hidden type leaves the drop-downs and the website.
  • Payment terms and the tenant's notice period start from here. Empty means one month.
