How to assign a monthly service or discount in Plexflow

How to add a service to a unit in Plexflow


You can add a service during a lease, for example a storage shed, an extra parking spot, or a monthly discount, while keeping the base rent amount.


This method also applies when an owner wants to temporarily adjust the rent without changing the main lease.


Step 1 – Open the unit in question


From your dashboard, open the property, then click the unit in question.


Step 2 – Open the “Services” tab


Once you are in the unit, select the Services tab in the top menu.

Step 3 – Add a service


If no service is assigned, click the “Click here” link.
A box will open with two separate lines:


  • Type: the type of service to assign (e.g. parking, storage shed, etc.)
  • Asset: items already set up in the system (e.g. parking 01, shed A, etc.)


In this article, we focus on the Type line.

Step 8 – Complete the information


Fill in the requested fields (amount, frequency, dates, etc.).
Note: if it is a discount, you must enter a minus sign (-) before the amount.
Example: -$50.


Step 9 – Click “Assign”


Once all the information is filled in, click Assign.
The service will then be added to the unit.


Final result


The unit will now display:


  • The base rent
  • The added service(s) (positive or negative)


All future collections will be adjusted automatically according to the new amounts.
