Everything in Landager starts with a Property. A Property represents the physical building or plot of land you manage. Before you can add tenants or collect rent, you must add the property they live in.

Step 1: Start the Creation Process

  1. Navigate to the Properties page using the left-hand sidebar.
  2. Click the "Add Property" button in the top right corner.
  3. This opens the New Property form.

Step 2: Fill Out Property Details

You'll need to provide the following information to create the property:

Property Name

Give the property a recognizable name. This could be the building's name (e.g., "Sunset Towers") or just the street address (e.g., "123 Main St"). This name will appear on reports and invoices.

Property Type

Select the category that best describes the building from the dropdown list:

  • Single Family: A standalone house.
  • Multi Unit: A duplex, triplex, or fourplex.
  • Apartment: A larger building with many units.
  • Commercial: Retail, office, or industrial space.
  • Land: Undeveloped or leased land.

Note: The type you select helps organize your portfolio but doesn't restrict how you use the property.

Address Information

Provide the full physical location of the property:

  • Address Line 1: Street number and name.
  • Address Line 2: (Optional) Building number, suite, etc.
  • City, State, ZIP Code.
  • Country.

Unit Configuration

The system can automatically create your units for you during property creation:

  • Single Unit: Select this if the property is a standard standalone house or single business space.
  • Multi-Unit: Select this if the property has multiple rentable spaces (like a duplex or apartment).
    • Unit Count: Select the number of units to auto-create based on your subscription limit.
    • First Unit Name: Optionally specify the starting name/number for auto-generation.

Additional Details

  • Notes: (Optional) Add any private notes about the building, such as gate codes, trash days, or preferred contractors.

Step 3: Save and Continue

  1. Review the details for accuracy.
  2. Click "Save Property".
  3. You will be redirected to the Property Detail View for your newly created property.

What Happens Next?

You've successfully created the "shell" of your property. Now it's time to define the rentable spaces inside it.

The exact next step depends on the property type:

  • If you added a Multi-Unit or Apartment: Your next step is to Add Units to the Property.
  • If you added a Single-Family Home: You still need to add one Unit to represent the rentable space of that home. A property must have at least one unit before you can attach a lease.
