The Move-In Process

Note: You cannot move a household into a unit until they have been assigned one

Video Demonstration: 

Moving in a tenant, removes their status of applicant, they then become a tenant.

Step-By-Step Guide

  1. Click the Toolbox Tab on the left hand side of the page in the household overview.

  2. This will bring up a list of tools. Mouse-over the "actions" symbol and a drop down menu with options will appear. Click "Move In."

  3. The following Move-In Wizard will appear:

    A- Assigned Unit Overview: Includes unit address, program, project, and bedroom amount.

    B- Unit Verification:

      • If selecting "This is not the correct unit. Un-assign and select a new unit." the household will be unassigned from the unit, and a new assignment wizard will run (See The Assignment/Unassignment Process)

    C- Next Button: Proceed to Move-In Date Step


Set the Move-In Date for Household:

A. Move In Date Picker: The move in date will default to todays date. Fill in the correct date manually or choose one from the calendar icon. The system will not allow a move in date prior to the assignment date in the Household History

B. Date of Next Required Certification: Like the Move In Date, the Certification Date will default to todays date, however many months out the Program Certification Cycle is set. You can customize this by checking the Set Custom Recertification Date radio button and changing the date. 


C. Pro-Rate Rent?: Yes/No (Pro-rating rent will adjust the first month's rent charge to reflect how many days of that month the tenant lived in the home. For example, if a tenant whose rent is $200 moves into a home on the 16th of the month, pro-rating the rent will only charge this tenant for the remainder of the month. In this case, that would be $100. If No is selected, the tenant's rent will not be pro-rated based upon move in date and the tenant will be charged the full month's rent regardless of when he or she moves in to the home.)

D. Previous Button: Back track to previous step.

E. Next Button: Proceed to next step.
