End a lease in Rentari
Choose the right action for a finished tenancy and keep its history.
On this page
Step 1: Choose the right action
Open the correct Lease profile and review its dates, people and balance. Use End lease when the whole tenancy is over. Tenant setup corrections, signed tenant changes and deleting unused records are different tasks.
Step 2: Open the end action
Open Settings, then How do I end this lease?. Read the explanation before choosing End lease. The confirmation moves the lease to Past today; it is not a future notice or a deposit refund.
Step 3: Check Past and remaining tasks
After a successful confirmation, find the lease in Past. Keep the agreement, payment history and move-out records. Tenants remain on the roster and can pay outstanding balances. Review charges, recurring schedules, the condition report and deposit settlement.
If only one person is leaving
Rentari's Remove from lease is limited to correcting setup. The lease must have no signed agreement, pending signatures, payments, recurring charges or condition reports. It keeps the person's profile and history but invalidates the unsigned draft.
It is not a general Move Out Tenant workflow. Do not use End lease to remove one roommate while the tenancy continues. Review the required agreement and account changes.
If the end date needs changing
Use Settings to review Lease length, End date and Go month-to-month when the lease ends. Save settings only when the terms are correct. Updating account dates does not amend a signed agreement.
For an expiring tenancy, use Summary > What next? > Start move-out or Start renewal. Follow the separate tasks in Renew a lease or prepare for move-out.
Delete a lease created by mistake
Delete lease is a separate settings action for an eligible unused record. Money, signed documents, signing history or condition reports can prevent deletion. Read the confirmation; keep completed tenancy history by ending the lease instead.
Payments and early departure
Review final rent, unpaid balances and agreed changes before ending the tenancy. End lease stops eligible recurring charges for that tenant and unit when no live lease remains. Check the resulting schedule; it does not erase outstanding balances or return a deposit.
An early departure still needs the appropriate agreement, notice and financial review. A status change alone does not terminate legal obligations. Use a new lease profile for the next tenancy.
Check the result
- The finished tenancy appears in Past with its history and remaining balances.
FAQs
Can tenants still pay after End lease?
Yes. Outstanding balances remain payable from the tenant portal. This differs from a separate access or membership change.
Does ending the lease refund the deposit?
No. Review the deposit record and its separate return or settlement action.
Is Ending soon a formal notice?
No. Review the actual agreement and required communication process.
Can I end only one roommate's tenancy here?
End lease ends the whole lease record. There is no general one-person move-out action in this workflow.
Should I reuse this lease for the next tenants?
Create a new tenancy record for the new agreement. Keep the former lease and history in Past.
