# How Do I Centralize Rental Contract Documents?

You centralize rental contract documents by keeping each contract connected directly to the property record, instead of scattered in a shared drive with no link back to the property. On **Jestor**, **Docs** connect directly to property records across the platform.

Rental contracts spread across a generic shared drive rarely have a clear connection back to the specific property and owner they relate to.

## What scattered contract storage costs

- Contracts saved in a generic drive, with no connection to the property they govern
- Difficulty finding the right contract without remembering exactly where it was saved
- No version history tied specifically to the property record
- Contracts becoming orphaned when whoever saved them leaves the company

## How centralized contracts work

- **Docs** connect directly to the property record they relate to
- Documents inherit the same permission structure as the attached record
- Version history applies to contracts the same way it applies to other data
- Search happens through the property record itself, not a separate file system

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Contracts stay connected to their property context, not floating in a generic drive
- Permissions apply consistently, inherited from the attached record
- Finding a contract means opening the property record, not searching a shared drive
- Reduces the "who has the latest version" problem

| Generic drive                    | Docs connected to the property   |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| No inherent link to the property | Directly connected to the record |
