In Mi Property Portal, a parking spot can be rented either as an add‑on to an existing tenant’s lease or as a standalone rental. The correct setup depends on whether the tenant is renting a unit plus parking, or only a parking space.
Scenario 1: Tenant Renting a Unit Plus Parking
Use this option when the tenant is already renting a residential or commercial unit and is also paying separately for a parking spot.
- Go to Tenant Management > Tenant and open the relevant tenant record by clicking View Details.
- In the tenant details view, click the Car icon located below the unit number.
- Enter the Parking Amount. This amount is treated as a separate parking charge, and the system will generate separate parking invoices based on this value (when auto‑invoice is enabled).
- Enter the Parking Start Date. Parking invoices will be generated for dates on or after this start date, aligned with the rental invoice schedule.
- (Optional) Enable Auto‑generate parking invoice if you want the system to create parking invoices automatically.
- Click Update to save the parking configuration.

Scenario 2: Tenant Renting Only a Parking Spot
Use this option when a tenant is renting a parking space but not a unit in the building.
Step 1: Add the Parking Spot as a Unit
- Log in to the Admin Portal and go to your account dashboard.
- Navigate to Property Management > Properties.
- Expand the desired property using the dropdown arrow.
- Select Add a Single Unit.
- Enter the unit information, treating the parking spot as a separate “unit” (e.g., Unit Name/Number could be “P1‑01” or “Parking‑A1”).
- Complete any additional details as needed and click Submit. The parking unit will be created and marked as ACTIVE.

Step 2: Add the Tenant to the Parking Unit
Once the parking spot has been created as a unit, add the tenant the same way you would for any other unit:
- Go to the tenant management section and choose the newly created parking unit.
- Add a new tenant record for that unit, entering the tenant’s details and rent (parking fee) as appropriate.
