Getting started
Adding your first property
Create a property and its units, and set the state Aptoria uses for its state rules data.
The short answer
Add a property by entering its name, address, state, and units, then save it to your portfolio. The state matters because Aptoria uses it for its state rules data, such as the state late-fee caps in the late-fee preview.
Create the property and a unit
A property in Aptoria holds one or more units. Onboarding walks you through creating your first property and unit together, so a new account reaches a usable state in one pass. After that, you add more from the Properties screen.
A single-family home is just a property with one unit; a small multifamily building is one property with a unit per apartment. You can add units to a property at any time as you bring more of your portfolio in.
Set the state
Set the property's state when you add it. Aptoria uses it for its state rules data, such as the state late-fee caps the late-fee preview applies, so it is not just a label.
If you manage properties in more than one state, each property carries its own state, so you do not maintain one global setting for the whole portfolio.
What comes next
With a property and its units in place, you can set the limits Aptoria will work within, preview a late-fee rule, and fill in notices from templates. Adding tenants and leases is planned, so the rent roll for a new workspace starts empty.
Adding a property never triggers any autonomous action. Aptoria doesn't carry out routine work on its own yet, and the blocked floor — evictions, applicant denials, deposit deductions, and the other consequential decisions — never runs on its own.
