Create, edit or delete a booking
Create a booking
To create a short-term tenancy agreement in Rentila, follow these steps: go to the “Bookings” section, then click the “New booking” button.
When you create a tenancy, you need to enter these essential details:
- The property,
- The duration,
- The rent and the various services,
- The security deposit,
- The tenants (you can add several tenants for a shared tenancy),
- The documents.
Invoice for the stay
Every booking you create generates an invoice automatically in the “Finance” section.
The invoice picks up the details and the amounts entered in the booking form, such as the description, the references, the amounts and the advance payments.
You can email the invoice to your tenants from the site, or download the PDF version and send it from your own mailbox.
Good to know
We advise landlords who let on a short-term basis to issue invoices to their tenants. It gives the tenant every detail about the payment for their stay, and it makes you look thorough and professional.
Edit a booking
To edit an existing booking, go to the “Bookings” section, click the “Edit” action to the right of the tenancy concerned, make your changes, then click “Save”.
Delete a booking
To delete a booking, go to the “Bookings” section, then click the “Delete” action to the right of the booking concerned.
If the booking is linked to an inventory or to a furnishings inventory, you have to delete those first and empty the trash. Otherwise the software will not let you delete the booking.
Note that this loses the history of the booking. It is usually better to archive bookings than to delete them.
Tenancy agreement template
When you create a new short-term tenancy agreement in Rentila, the software generates a pre-filled agreement template automatically.
You can preview it in the booking creation and editing form.
You can also download it in Word, PDF or OpenOffice format from the “Bookings” section, in the “Templates” column on the right.
