Unit statuses explained

Vacant, reserved, occupied, under maintenance, sold — and what changes them automatically.

Requires permission agency.units.change_status

Statuses are mostly automatic. Boyoti moves units between them as leases, reservations and sales progress, and you can override manually when needed.

Status	Set automatically when…	Can be listed?
Vacant	Created, lease ends/terminates, reservation cancelled.	Yes
Reserved	A reservation or lease in “pending signature” exists.	No
Occupied	A lease becomes active.	No
Notice given	Tenant/landlord notice recorded on the active lease.	Yes (as “available from”)
Under maintenance	Manual, or a move-out inspection flags major work.	No
Sold	A sale contract is completed.	No
Blocked	Manual — owner use, legal hold, etc.	No

To change a status by hand open the unit and use Change status. Add a reason; it is kept in the unit's activity log.

Manually setting “Vacant” on a unit with an active lease is blocked — end or terminate the lease instead so invoices stop correctly.
