How it works
From schedule to served notice
One workflow covers every market; only the market profile changes. Here is what runs, and where you stay in charge.
Step 1
Schedule the increase
You set the rate on the lease, or in bulk from the rent-increases worklist. Every eligible lease shows its earliest lawful effective date, its proposed rate, and its schedule status, with per-lease overrides.
Step 2
Confirm your market
Automated notices serve in a market only after a manager reviews and acknowledges that market's current rules. Until then, the schedule pauses safely and nothing sends.
Step 3
Validation runs twice
At scheduling and again before service, each increase is checked against the market profile: the cap or guideline where one exists, the frequency limit, any protected window at the start of a tenancy, and whether the effective date clears the notice floor.
Step 4
The right paper
Where the market prescribes an official government form, Scaalr fills exactly that form. Where none is prescribed, it composes the notice from the market's rules, stating the current rent, the new rent, and the effective date.
Step 5
Signed before it serves
A designated signer can capture a signature once and authorize unattended sending, review and sign each notice, or route it to the property owner through a secure emailed link. A schedule with no usable signature holds until one is captured.
Step 6
Served and recorded
When the increase comes due, Scaalr opens a rent-increase case, generates and attaches the notice, serves it by email where the market permits or as a staff record-of-service task where it does not, and records the result against the lease.
