System Settings
Configure company info, taxes, billing rules, invoice text, email settings, and automated notifications.
Overview
System Settings is where you configure your facility’s core business information. This is typically one of the first pages to complete — the info here appears on invoices, emails, and throughout your account.
To get here: Go to Administration → System Settings.
Each section has its own Save button, so you can update one area without affecting others.

Common questions
Do I need to complete everything before using LeaseLlama? No. At minimum, set your company name, timezone, and tax rate.
Do changes affect existing invoices? No. Changes apply to new invoices and emails only.
Should I enable all notifications? Start with defaults. Too many emails can annoy renters — enable more as needed.
