Set the owner
- Add the landlord as a client, if they are not one yet. See Add a client.
- Open the property and choose Edit.
- Choose the client in the Owner field.
- Save.
A property has one owner client, or none when you own it yourself. One client can own several properties.
What the owner field does
- It names, inside your team, who you manage the property for.
- It decides which properties appear on that client's owner statement.
- It does not give the client portal access. Invite them separately if you want them to sign in. See Invite clients to the portal.
Note: An owner is a client like any other. They use a client seat only while their status is active. See Client statuses and seats.
Several co-owners
For a property with several co-owners, choose the one you report to, such as a representative of the owners. When co-owners hold shares that you record, the fractional ownership module tracks them on the cap table. See Cap table and ledger.
