Lease and deposit statuses
In Whale Admin, it's possible for a single lease to have multiple deposits (e.g. a security deposit and a pet deposit). Each individual deposit has its own status and there are also parent level statuses representing the overall state of all deposits associated with a specific lease.
Here's an overview of the different statuses
Lease Level Statuses
- Pending Approval: All deposits have a status of Pending Approval.
- In Progress: The lease has at least one deposit with a Requested or Reversed status.
- Locked: The lease has at least one deposit with a Locked status and none with a Requested or Reversed status.
- Moved Out: The lease has ended and Whale has sent any Charges owed to the property and unlocked the remainder for the renter.
- Canceled: The lease only has deposits with a Canceled or Pending Approval status.
Deposit Level Statuses
- Pending Approval: Whale has not yet requested any deposits because the deposit has not yet met the minimum requirements to trigger an invite.
- Requested: Whale has requested the deposit but the renter has not funded their account.
- Reversed: The renter completed the deposit request and the deposit was confirmed with the property, but the transfer was later rejected and needs to be re-collected. This typically happens because the renter claimed the transaction was fraudulent so the bank or credit card company reversed the charge.
- Locked: The renter has completed the deposit request and the funds are locked in their Whale account for the duration of the lease.
- Moved Out: The lease has ended and Whale has sent any Charges owed to the property and unlocked the remainder for the renter.
- Canceled: The deposit request has been canceled. Hover over the tool tip in Whale Admin to see the reason why.
Hint: You can filter to different lease statuses in Whale Admin to see all leases in a specific state (e.g. all leases with fully paid deposits that are locked).
