How do I add part of a home (a basement, a room)?
ForLandlordsProperty managers
Who can do this
Landlords, and Organization members with Create Properties.
Where to find it
Properties → Add Property → Part of a home.
Steps
- Choose Part of a home.
- "Which part are you renting out?": choose Basement (a self-contained lower level), A room (one room in a shared home) or Other (a coach house, a floor, a suite or a shared space). Enter "How much of the home is it?" as a percentage. To work it out, divide the rented area by the whole home and multiply by 100: a 250 sq ft basement in a 1,000 sq ft home is 25%. Continue.
- Answer "Where is it?" and "What should we call it?".
- Organizations: answer the owners and fee steps.
- "Anything else to note?" (optional), then Add property.
What happens next
"Property added". It behaves like a single-unit property and is listed under the Partial property type.
Good to know
There is no "What does it cost to own?" step when adding part of a home. You can fill those costs in later from Edit.
Troubleshooting
"Choose which part", "Enter how much of the home it is", or "Enter a percentage from 0 to 100" (any value from 0 to 100, decimals allowed).
