# Flat-shares and HMO tenancies

With Rentila you can manage flat-shares and HMO tenancies easily. To do so, create one or more units (a unit can be a whole flat or a single room), then assign tenants to those units.

You can set up a joint tenancy, where a single agreement covers one unit let to several tenants. You can also set up individual tenancies, each with its own agreement, where every tenant rents a single room from you.

### Joint agreement: one rent and one shared receipt

For a joint agreement, where all the sharers sign a single contract with joint and several liability, all you need to do is:

- Create a record for each tenant in the “Tenants” section,
- then, when you create the tenancy, add several tenants by clicking the “Add tenant” button.

The rent, the invoicing and the rent receipt are then shared by all the sharers.

### Individual agreements: a rent and a receipt for each tenant

If each room is let separately on its own agreement, you need to:

- Create one unit per room (for example 5 units for 5 rooms),
- then create a separate tenancy for each tenant, linking each tenancy to its own unit.

Each tenant then has their own rent, their own rent due notices and their own rent receipt.
