- The details entered for application invitations are used within the lease creation process and are reflected in the application sent to the lead. Please make sure the details are accurate and correct
- If you select an early move in date, the rent for the early move in will be automatically prorated when the applicant signs the lease.
- Lease pricing is pulled automatically from the property and unit that you select. Depending on your company's permissions, you can edit these as required.
- You only need to send the application to one lead. The lead can then add co-tenants in the application. You can also add an additional prospect after you invite the initial lead by clicking on the application and then navigating to the Add Applicant button.
