A tenant's relationship with you isn't defined by a single transaction; it's defined by a series of legal contracts over time. You can view all of a tenant's contracts on the main Leases page.

Accessing the Lease History

  1. Open the Leases page.
  2. Look for the specific tenant's name in the table.
  3. You will see all their active and past leases listed.

Reading the History List

The table displays every contract that was ever bound to this specific person.

1. The Active Lease

If the person is an Active tenant, their currently valid contract will show as Active.

  • You can instantly see which Property and Unit they are living in right now.
  • You can scan the Start and End Dates to check when their renewal conversation needs to happen.
  • You can verify their legally bound Rent Amount.

2. The Historical Leases

You will also see their past, expired leases. This is incredibly valuable for two reasons:

Tracking Renewals (Same Unit) If Sarah Smith has lived in Unit 1A for five years on five consecutive 12-month leases, you will see all five contracts listed. You can review the older contracts inline to trace exactly how her rent increased over those five years.

Tracking Intra-Portfolio Movement If John Doe rented a 1-bedroom apartment from you in 2022, but moved out and returned in 2025 to rent a standalone house from you, the Leases page will show both contracts bound to entirely different Properties. This proves the value of separating the Tenant Profile from the Lease Contract.

Taking Action from the List

From the Leases table, you can edit their active lease inline to handle Modifying the Contract or Ending it Early.
