# How to move a tenant from one unit to another in Plexflow

**It is not possible to move a lease directly from one unit to another in Plexflow. In Plexflow, the unit is a cornerstone of the rental file.**
Because several elements of the system are tied to that unit, this information cannot be changed directly in the platform.

As a change of unit usually corresponds to **a new contract**, each lease stays linked to its original unit to keep a reliable history in the platform.
It is also recommended to **prepare a new lease** for the new unit, because this makes it easier to confirm that **the conditions, information, and terms agreed upon are the right ones for the new unit**.

For all these reasons, we recommend preparing a new lease, given how important this contract is.

## Possible alternatives

There are, however, some alternatives, depending on your situation.

### Alternative 1 — Print the lease and create a rent **Use an existing lease**

You can:

1. **Print the current lease from Plexflow**
2. **Make the changes by hand** on the paper document
3. Then create a new rent in **Use an existing lease** mode in the new unit

For the full steps, see the following article:
[**How to enter a new rent with an existing lease (without a lease)**](https://help.plexflow.ca/fr/article/comment-inscrire-un-nouveau-loyer-avec-un-bail-deja-existant-sans-bail-11817w0/). This article explains in particular how to use the **Use an existing lease** option to enter the rent in Plexflow, then upload the existing lease and its appendices to the file.

### Alternative 2 — Use the **Sign** module in Plexflow

You can also use the **Sign** module in Plexflow.
To do this:

1. **Download the digital version of the lease**
2. **Make the necessary changes** using the **Sign** module
3. **Then send the document digitally** for signature
