Step-by-step tutorials for getting the most out of Flatren.

• Backdated leases and past rent

  Start a lease from an earlier date and let Flatren backfill the rent that was already due, so your history is complete.

• Editing or ending a lease

  Change a lease's rent, dates, or details — or end the tenancy — without losing your payment history.

• Exporting your data and deleting your account

  Request a copy of everything Flatren holds about you, or permanently delete your account with a 30-day grace period.

• Getting started as a landlord

  Set up Flatren as a landlord in four steps — add a property, a unit, a lease, then invite your tenant and track rent.

• Getting started as a tenant

  Join your landlord's lease with an invite link or track rent solo, then pay and follow your tenancy in Flatren.

• How rent payments work

  Follow a rent payment through Flatren — from request to confirmed, plus what changes on a solo lease.

• How to add a lease

  Set up a lease in Flatren in under a minute — rent, dates, and the tenant invite.

  Add a property in Flatren — give it a name, an optional photo and address, then build out units and leases.

• How to add a unit

  Add a unit inside a property in Flatren — a room, studio or flat that a lease attaches to.

• Inviting the other party

  Send a Flatren invite link or QR code so the other side can join your lease — landlord to tenant, or tenant to landlord.

• Linking records to payments

  Attach payments to a record as evidence — tie a meter reading to a utility charge or a repair cost to a condition photo.

• Logging a past payment

  Record rent or a deposit you collected outside Flatren so your payment history stays complete.

• Managing your profile and payment handlers

  Set your display name, photo, and the payout methods you accept so rent requests show the right "Pay with" button.

  Choose which Flatren alerts you receive and switch the app between English and Romanian.

  See how Flatren flags overdue rent, how to nudge a late payer, and which payment notifications you can get.

  Flatren supports dual-role users — switch between your landlord and tenant views any time from the Role section in Profile.

• What are records

  Log readings, requests, condition photos, visits, notices, and notes against a lease, unit, or property in Flatren.
