How to manage a building with multiple addresses in Plexflow

In the field, it is very common for the same building to have several addresses. This is often the case for buildings located on a corner, or buildings where some doors open onto one street and others onto the adjacent street. This situation can quickly create confusion for tenants and for the management team alike.

If it is poorly managed in Plexflow, a dual address can lead to errors in leases, reports, renewal notices, tax slips, and so on.

The goal of this article is to offer you a clear and consistent way to document these buildings in Plexflow, to name your properties and units, and then to standardize your communications with tenants.

We will see that there is a simple method in Plexflow that addresses this situation by correctly structuring your multi-address buildings and reducing the risk of errors as much as possible.

Steps to set up a building with several addresses

Step 1 Add the property

Click the Add Property button in the Properties tab.

Step 2 Name the property

Enter the main address in the Address field.
In the Name field, enter both addresses so the building is clearly identified, for example
120 Rue King Ouest 300 rue de London.

Step 3 Create the units

Add the total number of units in the building.
In our example this is a six-unit building, with three doors on King Ouest and three doors on rue de London.
In the Name column, add a note that makes it easy to identify the street side.
If each door has a unique civic number, you can use the same approach.

Step 4 Check the generated addresses

Open the building record.
You will see that the addresses of units four, five, and six are not yet correct, which is normal at this stage.

Step 5 Open a unit record

Click one of the units in question to open its record, then click Edit.

Step 6 Correct the unit address

An edit window opens. Complete the fields as follows

• Nickname internal name displayed in Plexflow only. You can add a note so the unit is easy to identify.
• Address complete address of this unit.
• Apartment number apartment number when the civic address is shared.

⚠️ Attention: if each unit has its own civic number, do not fill in this field, otherwise this may create errors in the leases.

• Rooms number of bedrooms.

Click Update when everything is done.

Step 7 Repeat for each unit

Repeat the same procedure for all units that are on the other street address.

Step 8 Final result

Back on the property record, you will see that the six units now display the correct address.
The same building is therefore correctly set up with its two distinct civic numbers, while remaining grouped under a single property in Plexflow.
