Tenants change phone numbers, adopt new email addresses, and experience life events that alter emergency contacts. Landager makes it easy to update this information centrally without having to modify the active legal lease contract.

How to Edit a Tenant Profile

  1. Navigate to the Tenants list.
  2. Find the tenant you want to update in the list.
  3. Click the edit option on their row.
  4. The tenant profile form will appear, pre-filled with the current data.

What You Can Update

The following fields can be instantly modified:

  • Name (Helpful for name changes due to marriage)
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Emergency Contacts (you can add any number of them)
  • Notes

Important System Effects

Because Landager uses a relational architecture, you only need to update this information in one place.

If you update Sarah's phone number, that correct number will instantly populate on any active maintenance tickets tied to her unit, ensuring your vendors always receive the most up-to-date contact information without any double data entry on your end.

When Editing Isn't Allowed

You can edit a tenant's profile at any time, regardless of whether they have an Active or Past status.

However, editing their profile does not alter the terms of their active lease. If you need to change the amount of rent they owe, or change who the primary leaseholder is (e.g., swapping out a roommate), you must edit the lease directly in the Leases table.
