Your first rental

The shortest road from a new account to rent you can see. One page asks for the home, the tenant and the rent, and one press files all three. Nothing is sent to the tenant.

What it asks

• The home: the street, the postcode and the city. The country is filled in from where you signed up. A house is one home and is filed with the building. A duplex or a small block asks how many homes it holds, and an apartment in a building asks which one you let.
• The tenant: their name. An email can be added later.
• The rent: the monthly amount and the day the lease began. Where the rules of that place leave the tax on rent open, you are asked whether you charge it.
• The rent so far: when the lease began before today, you say whether those rents were paid, and how they arrived. They are marked paid on Money.

What it does

It files the building and reads which rules apply from the address, so there is nothing to choose. See jurisdictions. It adds the home, records the signed lease as running, and raises each rent on the day it falls due. You land on Money with the rent on it.

If this is your first plan, adding the rental starts your free trial. No card is asked for. Add one from Settings before the trial ends to keep going, or it simply ends.

What it leaves for later

Everything here can be changed afterwards. The rest is one step away:

• A title deed to read, several units, lots and their details: use the full building form. See your first building.
• A lease that is not signed yet: choose Not signed yet? Add the home and draw one up. The home is filed and the lease is drawn up in the lease form. See your first lease.
• The lease document itself: add it from the lease at any time.

Where Dardaris has not researched the rental law of a place, it says so on the page. The rent is tracked all the same, and a lease it draws up there is a plain one with no clause from another country's law. Have anything legal reviewed locally.
