Add or edit a legal entity

Record who collects rent, then complete the bank and verification steps.

Use the legal details of the person or business that will collect rent.

Step 1: Open the entity form

Open Settings > Rent payments and choose Add new entity. To update an existing record, choose Entity settings and enter your password when asked.

Entity settings password gate with a blank Password field and Continue button.
When opening Entity settings, confirm your password if asked. No password has been entered in this example.

Step 2: Enter the legal details

Complete Legal name and Type. Review Formed in, optional DBA and EIN / TIN. Choose Add entity for a new record, or Save when editing.

Blank Add new entity form with Legal name, Type, Formed in, DBA, EIN / TIN and Add entity.
Enter the legal details here. This example is blank and has not been submitted.

Step 3: Set up its payment destination

Open Payment destinations, choose the entity and add the appropriate destination. Complete its secure bank and identity steps, then check readiness.

Step 4: Check the charge routing

Use a ready destination for the lease's legal entity and the charge's purpose. Saving an entity does not automatically route every charge to it.

Check the result

  • The saved legal record identifies the collecting person or business; readiness remains separate.

FAQs

Does an entity record enable online payments?

No. Bank setup, verification and collection eligibility must also be complete. Follow the readiness message rather than adding a duplicate entity.

Can I edit the legal details later?

Open Entity settings and complete the password check. Review any further provider requirements after a change.

Does adding an entity issue a 1099-K?

No. Issued tax forms are separate from saved legal details. See the issued tax form guide.

How do I remove an entity?

This guide does not establish a self-service entity removal flow. Contact support before removing a collecting business or changing active routing.
