The Buildings area lists every property you draft leases for. Your list is encoded during setup; this is where you keep each building's details current. New buildings come in through your implementation team so the right state rules and signature block come with it.
01What you can do from this screen
- Edit a building (pencil) — update the names, landlord details (name, entity type, state of formation), address, and building area size. Everything you change flows into new documents drafted for that building.
- Delete a building (trash) — hide a property you no longer manage. The record stays intact, so existing leases drafted against the building remain openable and unchanged. The building just stops appearing when you start new deals.
02Two names, one building
Each building has two names, and they do different jobs:
- Name — appears in the lease documents you generate. Usually the legal property name.
- Dashboard Name — appears in the LeasePilot dashboard so your team can find it. Often the same, but you can shorten it or use an internal alias.
NoteState and signature blocks are locked. The State field and structural building settings (signature block, notice provisions, state-specific rules) were encoded when your platform was built. For any of those, click the Click here link at the bottom of the dialog — your implementation team picks it up and makes the change.
Default deal terms that vary per building — like base rent or fallback language — live in per-building defaults.
