1. Settings in the rental module
Settings in the rental module are important to review in order to be able to use the rental module to the fullest. Here you can enter standards for billing emails, as well as set up your own notification pattern (e.g. when the lease and/or warranty expires). Here you can also select checklists for check-in/check-out and inspection of rental properties, so that this is registered on the lease and the rental property, respectively.
Here is a guide with more information: Settings in the rental module
2. Create tenants
You can create tenants manually within LAFT. Here you can choose whether it is a private person or an organization. You have the opportunity to enter a lot of information, but the only thing that must be entered is the one with a red star.
If you have many tenants that need to be moved into place, we can help you import them. Contact support@laft.io for more information.
3. Create rental objects
You can create rental objects manually. Here you can set all settings for the property itself. You can also link the rental properties to buildings in the property structure.
If you have many rental properties that need to be moved into place, we can help you import them. Contact support@laft.io for more information.

4. Establishing a tenancy
To create a tenancy, you must associate one (or more) tenant(s) and a rental object. Everything you do will be logged, and you can always edit a tenancy later.
If you have many rental properties that need to be moved, we can help you import them. Contact support@laft.io for more information.
