How do I add a tenant after they have moved in? I doesn’t seem to “stick” when I input. It keeps defaulting to previous tenant.

@eehalvorson Have you tried using the “Add Future Tenancy” button on the unit detail page (accessible by clicking on a unit via the [Leases & Tenants page](https://app.stessa.com/web/leases))? You’ll also need to set a “Move Out” date for the prior tenant in order to keep things organized properly. Hope that helps and reply here if you’re still stuck.

This may help as well:
