Accept an applicant household and open its lease draft

Review the whole household and affected applicants before recording acceptance.

Acceptance applies to the complete active household. Other active applicants for the same rental are declined and notified when the decision is recorded.

Review submissions, required screening, roles and any conflicting lease first. Follow the blockers shown in Before acceptance.

Step 1: Open Household decision

From Renters > Applicants, open the applicant and choose Make a decision when offered. Check Applicants in this household, the rental and each Role.

Household decision showing the applicant, Role, Review, an unselected Decision field and Before acceptance blockers.
Read each role and blocker first. No decision is selected, and this applicant has not submitted the application.

Step 2: Review the acceptance scope

Choose Accept complete household only when everyone listed is intended to proceed. Read Other applicants affected and the proposed Lease draft dates and monthly rent.

Step 3: Review the notices

Complete the required individual reasons and disclosures for affected applicants. Choose Review decision and notices, then read the complete summary and notices.

Step 4: Record the reviewed choice

Type the confirmation shown and choose Record decision. If the form says details changed, refresh and review them again before confirming.

Step 5: Open the lease draft

After Recorded decision confirms the result, choose Open lease draft. Review its residents, roles, dates and terms before preparing or sending an agreement.

What acceptance changes

The recorded decision creates or reuses one eligible unsigned draft and links the accepted household. A prepared or conflicting lease can block the operation.

Acceptance does not sign the lease. Notice outcomes are separate from the saved decision, and delivery is not guaranteed merely because an email server accepted the notice.

Check the result

  • The recorded acceptance links the complete household to an unsigned lease draft.

FAQs

Does opening the page accept the applicant?

No. Opening Household decision and reviewing choices do not record acceptance. Record decision requires the displayed confirmation.

Can I leave some members active while accepting others?

This flow requires the complete active household. It also declines and notifies other active applicants for the rental. Review that scope before recording; do not use acceptance as a preview.

Can I add them to any existing lease?

This acceptance flow reuses an eligible unsigned draft or creates one. It is not a picker for attaching applicants to any occupied or signed lease. Review an existing lease’s separate resident workflow when that is your goal.

Is screening optional here?

Follow Before acceptance. Rentari checks submitted applications and required screening readiness. Resolve the displayed blockers before recording acceptance.

What if a notice fails or the result is unclear?

Read the recorded outcome before repeating the action. Use Check submission if offered for an uncertain submission, and follow the individual notice recovery options separately.
