Add a tenant without a Rentari application
Add the person directly when a rental application is not needed.
On this page
Check Tenants first so you do not create a second record for the same person.
Step 1: Review the existing contact
Confirm the person and rental. Adding a tenant does not create a submitted application or screening result.
Step 2: Add or invite the tenant
Open Tenants > Add new. Enter their name and contact details. Choose Add without invite to save without sending, or Review invite to check the rental and invitation before Send invite.
Step 3: Prepare the lease separately
Open the intended Lease Profile and Add tenant. Select the existing person, review Send invitation to tenant portal, then Add to lease. Review the agreement and charges separately.
Choose the right path
| Situation | Next step |
|---|---|
| No Rentari application needed | Add the tenant directly. |
| The lead should apply | Use Invite to apply on the lead. |
| An applicant already exists | Review the applicant and use the intended lease's Add tenant flow. |
Check the result
- The person can be linked to the correct lease without inventing an application.
FAQs
Can I add someone before inviting them?
Yes. Add without invite saves a person with an email or mobile number and sends no invitation.
Does adding them complete screening or signing?
No. Those are separate workflows.
