Co-housing: every room is a unit

In UnitDesk every room is a unit with its own lease, its own deposit and its own payment tracking, and every room belongs to one apartment, so that a lease on a room or on the whole apartment blocks the availability of the other side.

How UnitDesk does this

1. You create the property with the apartment as a unit and each room as a unit that is part of that apartment. A room belongs to one apartment and the link has one level: a room has no parts of its own.
2. Every room gets its own lease with its own rent, deposit, start and end date. When one resident leaves, one lease ends and one starts; the other rooms are untouched.
3. Payments are matched per lease, so you see per room who has paid and who is behind, even when six residents transfer on the same day.
4. Availability follows from the leases in both directions: a rented room makes the whole apartment unavailable for a lease on the whole, and a lease on the whole apartment makes every room unavailable.

Every room belongs to one apartment and keeps its own lease and payment tracking, so in property management software like UnitDesk a property with six rooms stays one property with one set of units, not six separate administrations.

UnitDesk does not collect rent; it follows what arrives in your account per lease.
