Overview of Rent Review Date Alignment
In Re-Leased, rent review dates must align with the tenant’s rent start date or the rent template start date. Misalignment occurs when:
The rent review date precedes the tenant’s first rent date.
The rent review date falls outside the active rent period covered by the rent template.
Common Issues and Their Causes
Rent Review Date Precedes Tenant’s First Rent Date - If the review date is earlier than the tenant’s first rent date, the system cannot find rents to work with, causing an error. - Example: A review date of 01/02/2026 when the first rent starts on 01/04/2026.
Rent Review Date Falls Outside the Rent Template Period - If the review date is earlier than the rent template start date, the system blocks the review as it cannot locate a valid rent template for the specified date. - Example: A review date in 2024 when the rent template starts in 2025.
Step-by-Step Solutions
Option 1: Adjust the Rent Review Date
Open the rent review record in Re-Leased.
Change the review date to on or after the tenant’s first rent date or the start date of the applicable rent period. - Example: If the first rent starts on 01/04/2026, set the review date to 01/04/2026 or later.
Save the changes.
Run the Perform Review process again.
Option 2: Adjust the Tenancy Rent Start Date
Open the tenancy record in Re-Leased.
Navigate to Rent & Outgoings > Rent tab.
Edit the rent record and change the Start Date to on or before the review date. - Example: If the review date is 13/11/2025, set the rent start date to 13/11/2025 or earlier.
Save the changes.
Run the Perform Review process again.
Option 3: Adjust or Create a Rent Template
Review the current rent template to ensure it covers the review date.
If necessary, adjust the template’s start date or create a new template that includes the review date.
Save the changes and reattempt the rent review.
