Archive, Reactivate, or Delete a Property

In Rentec Direct property management software, property can be quickly removed from the active property list while preserving historical transactions.

While a property can be archived and deleted from your Rentec Direct account, it's encouraged to wait until after taxes have been filed for the time it was managed to ensure transactions linked to the property are included with your filings.

After a property has been archived, it can then be deleted. Before archiving property, to ensure accurate ledgers and reports, we encourage you to:

• Move out tenants from the property
• Close work orders
• Post pending transactions
• Reconcile bank accounts linked to the properties (Bank accounts should be reconciled monthly)
