Properties & Units

Use properties and units to describe what you manage and where each client, meter, and contract belongs.

What a property is

A property is a building, land plot, or other location you manage. It is the main place where clients, units, meters, funds, and invoices are grouped.

Good property records make filtering and reporting easier. Add the property name, address, image, and type clearly enough that your team can recognize it later.

When to add units

Add units for apartments, offices, parking spaces, rooms, or any separate rentable or managed space inside a property.

  • Use units when different clients, owners, residents, or tenants are responsible for different parts of one property.
  • Link meters to units when readings belong to one specific rentable or managed space.
  • Use units in contracts or service agreements so invoices and communication point to the correct place.

Minimum and optimal monthly rent

These optional property and unit amounts are private reference targets for the owner or landlord. Minimum is your lower target; optimal is your preferred target. Different units can have different amounts.

They do not set rent on a contract or invoice automatically. Enter the actual charge in the contract's Objects or Utilities section. A contract utility calculation can also reference a property's or unit's saved rent amount when you explicitly choose that field.

Recommended setup

Create the property first, then add units before creating contracts. That gives each later record a clean structure to connect to.
