There are two options to manage multiple tenants in the same unit, and we generally recommend you select the option based on whether the tenants can move in and out independently and/or pay their rents independently. In essence whether or not the tenants are all a single group that move in and out together or if you rent the building/unit by the room or some other similar setup.
Tenants all move in and out together and pay the rent together.
In this case we generally recommend assigning one tenant as the primary tenant and all others as Occupants to that Tenant. Occupants can be managed in the Occupants sub section under the Tenant. If the tenants are a marital partners or something along those lines then you can also override the Firstname and Lastname fields to each be one of the Tenant’s names, however even then we generally recommend putting a primary Tenant and the other partner as an Occupant.
Tenants can move in and out independently and each pay their own rents
In this case we recommend subdividing the unit into sub-units. That is creating a Unit entry for each sub-unit. An example of this is a boarding house or a setup where you rent on a per “room” basis where each Tenant has their own bedroom and share the common areas. In this case you would want to create sub-units because in essence each unit is really it’s own rental unit, with Tenants moving in and out independently, paying their own rents, signing their own Leases, and so on. So for example if the Unit is Unit 101 and it has 4 rooms each rented individually then you could enter them as unit 101-a, 101-b, 101-c, and 101-d because in effect each bedroom is really its own rental unit with its own Tenant, its own Leases, its own Accounting (rents paid, etc.), and so on.
