Move-in to move-out: the life of a tenancy inside Premises

A tenancy is a sequence of dates with money attached. The platform knows the sequence; this page walks it, so you know what will happen on its own and where you are needed.

By the end of this page

You will see the whole arc of a tenancy as the platform sees it, and know the six moments that need a decision from you.

Where you are needed

Six times. Adding the client. Recording deposits (which ones and how much). Preparing the lease. Deciding at sixty days — renew or not. Recording notice with a date. The move-out inspection and deposit return. Everything between those is the platform's.

Renewal

From the client's page, Renew: new end date, new rent if it changes (the repeating invoice updates from the date you choose), and a new lease generated from the same template with the new terms. The old lease stays on file as history.

Early termination

Record the move-out date; the platform proposes the final invoice and shows the deposit position. Whether early termination forfeits part of the deposit is a clause in your lease, not a rule in the software — the deductions step lets you apply it.

The tenant's side

The portal shows the tenancy dates, the rent, deposits held, and a warning at sixty days so the renewal conversation starts from both sides. After move-out, their invoices and signed lease stay readable to them for ninety days, then the portal closes.

History is never deleted. A past tenancy stays on the unit and on the client. Add the same person to a different unit two years later and their file is already there.
