Rental Units
All rentable units in your portfolio at a glance — create, edit and move directly to a listing.
Rental units are the individual rentable units within a property — for example, Apartment 2A at 5 Sample Street. You create a rental unit once, maintain its master data, and start the rental process from there.
Rental units are managed under Properties. Open a property and switch to the Rental Units tab to see all units for that property and to create new ones.
Common Tasks
