# Your home and lease

> Your home screen, lease details, notices from the landlord, household, documents and smart devices.

## Home

[Home](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/home) (the **Home** tab on a phone) is where you land. It shows your address, **Pay rent** and **Report an issue**, your next rent, your lease, recent payments and open requests. A **Today** box at the top appears only when something needs you: rent due or overdue, your lease ending soon, or autopay switched off. On a phone, a **Pay** button sits above the tab bar when money is owed.

## Lease

[Lease](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/lease) shows your lease reference, dates, rent, deposit and due day, with a **Lease documents** button.

Sixty days before your lease ends you are emailed. If your landlord offers a renewal, it appears in the **Renewal** card with the new rent, term and start date: press **Accept the renewal** or **Decline**, with a note if you like. Accepting creates the renewal lease, which your landlord sends you to sign under **Leases to sign**; your current lease runs to its end date either way. If nothing changes by the end date, your lease continues month to month at the same rent, both of you are emailed, and either side can end it by giving notice. To ask about renewing, message your landlord.

## Notices

[Notices](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/notices) shows messages your landlord tagged as formal notices. Everything else from your landlord, including leases to sign, is in your Inbox.

## Household

[Household](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/account/household) is your own record of everyone who lives with you. Use **Add an occupant** with their name and relationship (and email, or whether they are a minor), then **Add to household**. Your landlord sees the list on your lease.

## Documents

[Lease documents](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/leases) lists agreements waiting for your signature and those already signed, with the signed copies to download.

**Files on your lease**, on the [Lease](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/lease) page, holds the files of your tenancy: the signed lease once both of you have signed, addenda and notices your landlord shares, and anything you upload yourself, such as proof of renter's insurance. Use **Add files** (PDF, Word or photos), pick a type and an optional label, then **Upload**. Your landlord sees what you upload; you can delete your own uploads, not theirs. Files open in a new tab and the arrow downloads them.

[My documents](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/account/documents) lists all of it in one place: your agreements, the signed copies, and every file shared with you on your leases, repair requests and applications.

## Devices

If your landlord has connected smart locks, lights or switches for your home, [Devices](https://app.rentiqa.com/tenant/devices) lets you control them: lock and unlock, on and off. **Who else used them** lists every time someone else, such as your landlord in an emergency, used a device and why.

## Messages

Talk to your landlord in your [Inbox](https://app.rentiqa.com/messages) (the **Inbox** tab on a phone). **Message landlord** on a repair request opens a message to them; on your home page (on a computer) it opens your inbox.
