Active/Inactive Unit Overview

Active/Inactive Units Overview

The Unit Active and Inactive Dates function is designed for use by properties that sub-lease units. Typically, this is a corporate housing property.

With the appropriate policies set, values entered in the Active or Inactive date fields define the state of that unit. The state affects how units are counted throughout the system in leasing functions, reports, and the Recalc Counts utility, as follows:

If a unit is Active, it displays throughout the system as an available, leasable unit and activity is allowed. It is considered in calculations and reports.
If a unit is Inactive, it is hidden throughout the system and is unavailable for leasing. Activity is not allowed or considered for the time period that the unit is Inactive, nor is it considered in calculations or reports. This allows you to temporarily remove that unit from your books for a specified period of time without having to delete it. For example, if units are leased on a time-share or seasonal basis, those units could be marked Active for the time they are available to be leased and marked Inactive for the times of year when they are vacant.
