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.

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