Setting Up Apartment Units: Buildings, Unit Numbers and Common Areas

How you name apartment addresses decides whether you can find “Building C, Unit 12” in two years. Pick a convention and stick to it.

One Client per Manager

The management company or complex is the client. Billing settings, like Monthly, live there.

Each Unit Is an Address

Add each unit as its own address: “Sundance Ridge #214” or “Building C, Unit 12.”

Common Areas Too

Hallways, clubhouses, pool houses and leasing offices get their own addresses.

Add Units as You Go

You do not need to enter all 300 units on day one. Add each unit the first time it is requested.

History per Unit

Each unit keeps its jobs, colors and photos.
