# How to Perform a Move-In Through the 6Storage Admin Portal

## A step-by-step guide to completing a tenant move-in, from selecting a unit to signing the lease.

Moving in a tenant using the 6Storage admin portal is a simple, step-by-step process. Follow the instructions below to complete a new rental.

 

**Start the Move-In Process**

Begin by clicking the **Move In** button from the toolbar at the top of the screen.

 

**Step 1: Select or Add a Tenant**

- If the tenant has stored with you before, search for their name using the **search bar** or select them from the list.
- If this is a new tenant, click the **Add New** button.
- If they have stored with you in the past, select them from the existing list

From here, you can enter the tenant’s details including:

- Name, address, and contact information
- Alternate contact information (optional)
- Marketing preferences
- Any custom fields you've set up for your facility

**Step 2: Select a Unit**

Choose the unit the tenant will be renting:

- Use the dropdown filters on the left side to narrow down your search.
- Select an available unit from the list.

Once the unit is selected, you can:

- Assign a **gate code** and define **access hours** (if your facility uses an automated gate system).
- Enter **vehicle information**, if applicable.
- Set permissions for any **alternate contacts** who are allowed to access the unit.

You can also update:

- **Billing information**
- **Discounts**, if you wish to apply any

**Step 3: Add Optional Items**

In this step, you can include any additional items the tenant will be paying for, such as:

- Content coverage
- Fees or services
- Merchandise

**Step 4: Review and Submit**

- Review all the selected options and charges in the **expense summary** on the right
- Once everything looks correct, click **Submit and Proceed** to finalize the rental

 

**Final Step: Capture Signature and Payment**

After submitting, the system will prompt you to:

- **Collect the tenant’s signature** for the rental agreement
- **Process the first payment** based on the selected billing details

Once both are complete, the move-in process is finished!
