When multiple roommates pay invoices individually, you can add new roommates to an existing lease at any time. This allows you to divide the rent and other financial obligations among your tenants according to their specific portions.
You can add or replace a roommate on leases that have an active status. To add a new roommate to the lease, open the Renters page on the Leases tab, click on the relevant lease and select "Edit tenants" in the "Tenant information" section.
Next, click on the "Add co-tenant" option, choose the desired tenant from the list.

Please note: You cannot change the Invoicing type from "Paying individually" to "Paying jointly" and vice versa.
Here you will see all recurring transactions associated with the lease, allowing you to split the amounts among the roommates. Each tenant will only receive an invoice reflecting their portion of the payment and will be responsible for that amount. Please ensure that all amounts are correct and properly aligned.

Note! Once the roommate is added to the active lease, the next rent invoice and other lease transactions will be posted with the next scheduled invoice and will be already divided between the number of tenants you added. Each tenant will receive their exact split amount and can make a partial payment if you have that setting enabled.
Late fees will be calculated for each roommate individually in accordance with their portion of the rent:
You can request Renters insurance from a particular tenant or from all tenants from the Insurance tab.
You can also require the E-Signature from your tenants. Click the “Request” button on the existing lease or the “Request e-signature” button right after move-in, select the template, or create a custom one. Then drag and drop the signature fields and assign them to each tenant or use the Default Signature option, which will include all parties at the bottom of the agreement.
Note! Once the roommate is added to the active lease, the tenant will receive a notification that a new lease has been shared.
When creating a lease, add two or more tenants on the "Tenants" step and then select "Tenants pay individually" on the next step.
Note! When the leases is created for one tenant only, by default that is a lease with an individual invoicing.
