This can be agreed in the written form of email or a document. If everyone agrees, then record the change in writing, have yourself and all the remaining tenants sign it & make sure everyone has a copy (landlord, the tenant who’s leaving, and the tenants who’re staying)
The written agreement (if doing your own) can be uploaded to the Tenancy agreements page under other documents and the Change of tenant form (if doing your own) can be uploaded to the Bonds page under Other documents.
We now offer the ability to create Change of tenant forms on the Tenancy agreements page of your tenancy that you can use to put the change of tenants in writing.
If the leaving tenant has contributed to the bond, we would recommend that the new tenant (or the tenant that is staying on) pays the required bond funds to you (the landlord) and from there complete and send a Change of tenant form to Tenancy Services. Once the form has been processed, you would then release the funds to the departing tenant.
Once you're ready for your departing tenant to be removed from the tenancy you can do this on the people page of the tenancy by following the steps here.
The new tenant can be onboarded to your tenancy through the People page of the tenancy unless they were already added while creating the Change of tenant form.

Step 11: You can now choose to create the Change of tenant form to be sent to Tenancy Services to update the bond record, choose to do this later or choose to opt out if this doesn't apply to your situation. Eg: the tenant didn't contribute to the bond and was not on the tenancy at the time of lodgement.
