This guide is the fastest path to getting your account functional. Follow these steps in order and you'll avoid any backtracking.

Step 1: Add Your First Property

Everything in Landager starts with a Property. You can't add tenants or track rent without a place for them to live.

1. Navigate to the PropertiesIl-preview mhux disponibbli page.
2. Click the Add Property button.
3. Enter the property details:
   • Name (e.g., "Sunset Apartments" or "123 Main St")
   • Full Address (line 1, line 2, city, state, ZIP, country)
   • Property Type: Single Family, Multi Unit, Apartment, Land, or Commercial
   • Total Units count
   • Optional Notes
4. Click Save.

Step 2: Define Your Units

If your property has multiple rentable spaces, you need to define each one.

1. Open the property you just created.
2. Click Add Unit for each rentable space.
3. Enter the unit details:
   • Unit Number (e.g., "Apt 101", "Suite A", "Unit B")
   • Layout: Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Square Footage
   • Rent Amount and Currency
   • Status: Vacant, Occupied, or Maintenance
   • Optional Notes
4. Repeat for every unit in the property.

Step 3: Add Your Tenants

Now that the physical spaces exist, it's time to assign the people.

1. Navigate to the TenantsIl-preview mhux disponibbli page.
2. Click Add Tenant.
3. Enter tenant details:
   • Full Name
   • Email and Phone
   • Assigned Unit
4. Optionally add Emergency Contacts (Name, Phone, Email) — you can add unlimited contacts per tenant.

Step 3b: Request Tenant Screening (Optional)

If you need to verify the tenant before creating a lease, you can use built-in screening:

1. On the Tenants page, click Request Screening.
2. Enter the applicant's name and email.
3. Select which documents you require (ID, proof of income, etc.).
4. Click Send Invite. The applicant will receive a secure link to fill out a comprehensive screening form.

Step 4: Create a Lease

The Lease is the key piece that connects a Tenant to a Unit and defines the financial terms.

2. Click Add Lease.
3. Link to a Unit and a Tenant.
4. Set the Start Date and End Date.
5. Enter the Rent Amount and Security Deposit.
6. Configure Late Fees (Fixed Amount or Percentage).
7. Choose the Lease Type: Fixed-term or Month-to-Month.
8. Set the Rent Due Day (1st through 28th of each month).
9. Upload the Lease Document (PDF, image, etc.).
10. Upload Unit Condition Photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC — up to 30 MB total) to document the unit's starting condition.
