Reservations
Holding a room before the lease starts, the holding deposit, and the three ways a reservation ends.

Before you start
- The room is free for the period you are holding.
- A payment account exists — it is required on the form, because a reservation records money. See Payment accounts.
- The tenant record exists, or will be created from the lead.
1. Create a reservation
Open the form
Go to Leasing → Reservations and press (+), or convert a lead.
Fill in the fields
Campo Obligatorio Descripción Building Sí Determines the rooms offered. Room Sí The room being held. Bed No Required when the room has active beds. Tenant Sí Who is holding the room. Payment account Sí Where the holding deposit is recorded. Payment period Sí How often the future lease will be billed — monthly, quarterly, and so on. Deposit No Amount taken now. Total deposit No Full deposit agreed, if it is being paid in parts. Deposit months No Deposit expressed as a number of months' rent. Check-in date No When the tenant intends to move in. Deposit date No When the money was received. Rent price No Agreed rent, carried into the lease. Promotion No Discounted months and discounted price, if agreed. Reservation agreement No Document template to generate. See Documents. Lead / sales / collaborator No Attribution for pipeline and commission reporting. Save
The room shows as reserved on the property layout and is blocked for other leases and bookings.
2. The holding deposit
Never record a holding deposit as a payment against a future invoice. The invoice does not exist yet, and the money is not revenue until the terms say it is.
When the lease starts, the amount transfers to the lease deposit. See Deposits.
3. Close the reservation
| Outcome | What to do | What happens to the money |
|---|---|---|
| Tenant signs | Convert to a lease | Transfers to the lease deposit |
| Tenant withdraws | Close the reservation | Refunded as an expense, or forfeited as income |
| Hold expires | Close the reservation | Per your terms; record whichever applies |
Always set an expiry. A hold with no end date quietly removes a room from your available stock for months.
