- Read this one firstAdding a client: the fields that matter and the ones you can leave blank
Five fields make a client in Premises; the rest are for the lease and can wait. What happens automatically on save, and how to replace a departing tenant.
→ - Move-in to move-out: the life of a tenancy inside Premises
What the platform does at each stage of a tenancy — move-in, invoices, the monthly cycle, the 60-day warning, notice, inspection, deposit return.
→ - Deposits: security, electrical and advance rent — recorded once, returned correctly
The three deposits Philippine landlords take, how each is recorded, why they are not income, and how the return is computed at move-out. With a calculator.
→ - Lease agreements: template, fill, send, sign
How Premises turns your lease into a template, fills it from the client and unit records, sends it to the tenant's portal and collects a valid e-signature.
→ - Electronic signatures in the Philippines: what RA 8792 lets you do and how the platform proves a signature
RA 8792 makes e-signatures valid when identity, intent and reliability can be shown. What Premises records for every signature, and when paper is still right.
→ - Reading an ID with AI: upload, review, apply — and why it never writes anything without you
How Premises reads a tenant's ID photo and proposes name, ID number, birth date and address for you to tick and apply field by field — never written alone.
→ - Tenancies ending soon: the sixty-day warning and what to do with it
What Premises does sixty days before a tenancy ends — the Needs you item, the portal notice — and the three choices: renew, let it run, record notice.
→ - Client documents: where files live, who can open them, how they're encrypted
How client files are handled: encrypted on upload with the workspace key, stored outside the web root, opened through one role-checked, logged door.
→ - "View as" a tenant: checking what your client will see before they see it
How View as works for tenants in Premises: open any client's portal in a parallel session with a banner, your own session untouched, every visit logged.
→ - Handling a tenant who changes units, splits a lease or adds a co-tenant
How Premises handles a tenant moving to another unit, two tenants splitting one tenancy, and adding or removing a co-tenant — deposits transferred, leases.
