Deleting a Tenant (Moving to Past)

Unlike Properties and Units, deleting a tenant in Landager is not a destructive action blocked by strict safeguards. Instead, "deleting" a tenant simply moves them to the Past status.

You generally delete a tenant if you need to quickly clear them from an active unit or if they were created entirely by mistake.

What Happens When You Delete a Tenant

[!CAUTION] Deleting a tenant immediately affects their active leases.

When you delete a tenant, the system automatically:

1. Terminates their active leases immediately.
2. Voids their unpaid future rent charges.
3. Frees the unit they were occupying.
4. Keeps their history intact, moving their status to "Past".

How to Delete a Tenant

To delete a tenant:

1. Open the TenantsPreview unavailable page.
2. Find the tenant in the list.
3. Click the delete option on their row.

The Alternative: Move-Out

If a tenant lived in your property, finished out their lease, and is moving away peacefully, you can use the Move-out option instead of deleting them.

Using Move-out from the tenant row allows you to:

1. End active leases on a specific move-out date.
2. Void unpaid charges due after that date.
3. Record deposit deductions once against the deposit actually held, and refund the rest.

Whether you use Delete or Move-out, their financial history remains perfectly intact for your tax records. They will naturally disappear from your default Active directory view, but you can always find them using the Active/Past filter on the Tenants list.
