Option II: Delete the lease and set it up again

You can use this option if the lease has not been amended. WARNING: If you delete a lease that has been amended, you may need a file fix to correct it (performed by Sage Professional Services Group, additional fees for services). Follow the steps below to determine whether a lease has been amended:

1. In Property Management, from the Tasks menu, select Manage Leases, Change Lease.
2. In the Lease list, select the appropriate lease ID with the number 0 in parentheses after the lease ID.
3. Click the Lease History button to view if there have been any lease amendments.

If the lease has never been amended, you can reconcile the terminated lease then delete it and set it up again. Refer to How do I reconcile a terminated lease in Property Management? and How do I delete a terminated lease in Property Management?

Option III: Change the terminate dates

If the lease was terminated earlier than intended but will soon be officially terminated, you can leave the lease in a Terminated status and correct the dates.

WARNING: Any reports you use that is based on a lease status of Current, will not include this lease. If you need the lease back to a Current status, use one of the other options above as appropriate. Some alternative reports exist or can be created to display the lease status based off move in and move out dates such as the Rent Roll Rollback report in How do I run a Rent Roll report for past years or months in Property Management?

1. PM Tasks, Manage Leases, Change Lease.
2. Select the lease.
3. Select the Recur Chgs tab.
4. Clear or change the Terminate Date on the recurring charges.
   • If you clear the date, recurring charges will continue to generate in the Generate Rent Roll task until you enter a new Terminate Date.
   • If you change the date, change it to one day after you want to bill through. This date is a "bill up to" date, not a "bill through" date. For example, if you want to bill through 6/30/2019, enter 7/1/2019 as the Terminate Date.
5. Correct the Actual Lease End, Actual Move Out, Occupancy, and Vacancy loss dates as instructed in How do I correct Actual Lease start, Actual Lease end, Actual Move-in, and Actual Move-out dates for a lease in Property Management?
6. When you are ready for the lease to be officially terminated, make sure a Terminate Date is entered on the recurring charges. Then proceed with reconciling the terminated lease and move it to historical status when ready:
