Understanding Unit Statuses
Learn how Landager tracks the physical and occupancy status of your units: Vacant, Occupied, and Maintenance.
The physical condition and occupancy state of every rentable space in your portfolio is tracked via the Unit Status.
The Three Unit Statuses
Every unit in Landager exists in one of three states, represented by color-coded badges throughout the interface:
1. Vacant (Grey / Orange Warning)
The unit is currently empty, not legally bound to an active tenant, and is physically ready to be rented.
- Workflow: This is the default status when you first create a new unit. It signals that you should be actively marketing the space or seeking a new tenant.
2. Occupied (Green)
The unit is currently inhabited by a tenant with an active lease.
- Workflow: A unit must be Occupied (or have an active lease attached) to generate expected rent on your ledger.
3. Maintenance (Yellow / Red Warning)
The unit is empty but cannot be rented because it is undergoing significant repairs, renovations, or turnovers.
- Workflow: Use this status to remind yourself that a unit should not be shown to prospective tenants yet.
How Status Affects Dashboard Metrics
Your Dashboard Overview tracks your units to help you manage your subscription.
- Units In Use: This counter tracks how many units you currently manage against your subscription limit. All units (Vacant, Occupied, and Maintenance) count toward this limit.
Automation vs. Manual Control
In a perfect workflow, you rarely need to touch the unit status manually. Landager's data connections handle the transitions automatically when you create or end Leases.
However, you always retain manual control for edge cases like extensive renovations.
