Change rent or renew a lease

Raise or lower rent, update the HAP amount, or renew a lease with new dates.

1 min read

Use Change rent when the rent or the housing assistance amount changes. Use Renew lease when the tenant signs a new lease term. Both buttons are on the tenant page. PropFlow keeps the old rent for earlier months, so past statements don't change.

Change the rent

  1. Open the tenant and click Change rent.
  2. Pick when the New rent starts. Months before this keep the old rent.
  3. Enter the new Monthly rent ($).
  4. Check Rent assistance. If it's Section 8 (HAP) or Other assistance, enter what Assistance pays ($ per month) and the Next re-exam date.
  5. Check the Now and New amounts PropFlow shows, then click Save rent change.

Renew a lease

  1. Open the tenant and click Renew lease. (It only shows for current tenants with no move-out date.)
  2. Pick when the New lease starts. New lease ends fills in for one year minus a day; change it if needed.
  3. Enter the Monthly rent ($) and any rent assistance, just like a rent change.
  4. Click Save renewal.
  5. To make the new lease document, go to the tenant's Lease tab and click Create lease. See Create and sign a lease.

Questions

What if the new rent starts in the middle of a month?

PropFlow splits that month by days: the old rent for the days before, and the new rent from the start date on. The form shows the split before you save.

Can I date a change in the past?

Yes, back to the move-in date. If it starts this month or earlier, PropFlow adds a correction to rent already charged. If it starts before this month, only the owner can save it.

I only need to fix the lease end date. Do I use Renew lease?

No. Click Edit details on the tenant page and change Lease ends.
