Once you have created a rental application, you may find the need to amend or modify certain terms. Open the application and click Update to make changes to the following:
  • Building and unit.
  • Payment schedule: adjust the start and end dates, as well as the billing interval for rent collection (for example monthly, quarterly, or custom).
  • Rental pricing and invoice line items.
  • Application payments, including the holding deposit, move-in payment, and deposit.
  • Rent collection method: toggle between Charge automatically or Send invoice.
  • Contract template, signing options, and break clauses.
  • Assignee and deal assignee.
The Update form also shows a Share of rent summary for each applicant. Changing the split is done in its own form — see Update an applicant.

​
What you can change, and when

Your application configuration determines how long each field stays editable, because Yorlet only lets you change something the application has not already passed:
  • Unit, schedule, pricing, and contract template can be changed until the contract has been generated. After that, Update is hidden until you cancel the contract.
  • Holding deposit, Move-in payment, Deposit, and Partial payment amounts can be changed until the application moves past the matching step.
If you increase a payment after your customer has already paid it, revert that step so the application re-enters it and the outstanding amount can be collected.

​
Contracts

You can preview the contract from the overflow menu (•••) at any time. Edit contract is only available before the contract has been generated, because your edits are applied at the point of generation. Take care when editing: changes apply to this application only and are shown to your customer in the Application Portal. Once the contract has been generated, you cannot change the unit, dates, pricing, or contract template, and Update is no longer shown on the application.

​
Updating after the contract has been generated

To change those details after the contract is out for signature, cancel the contract first. Cancelling clears it from the application, returns the application to waiting for a contract, and brings Update back. To cancel the contract and update the application, follow these steps:
  1. Open the application and click the contract in the Contracts table.
  2. Click Cancel contract. Confirm in the dialog — this cannot be undone.
  3. Return to the application. Update is shown again.
  4. Click Update, make your changes, then click Update.
  5. Click Generate contract to create a new contract with the updated terms.
Cancel contract is only available while the contract is still out for signature, including after some people have signed. Once everyone has signed, the contract is complete and cannot be cancelled. Voiding a completed contract does not restore Update.
