Guides
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.
How to add a property
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.
Notifications and language
Choose which Flatren alerts you receive and switch the app between English and Romanian.
Payment reminders and overdue rent
See how Flatren flags overdue rent, how to nudge a late payer, and which payment notifications you can get.
Recording a property cost
Log mortgage, repairs, and other property expenses in Flatren to track the real margin on a property.
Scheduling recurring records
Set a reminder so Flatren prompts you to log recurring records like monthly meter readings or periodic inspections.
Solo and paired leases
Track rent on your own or together with the other party — how solo and paired leases differ and how to upgrade.
Switching between landlord and tenant
Flatren supports dual-role users — switch between your landlord and tenant views any time from the Role section in Profile.
