# Location IDs

Understand the role of location IDs in managing rental properties and their creation during onboarding or location updates.

**Element type**: Required

**Endpoints/models**: [addPartnerLead](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/myLodgeAPI/v1/methods/Onboarding/addPartnerLead/), [addOrUpdateCustomerLocations](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/myLodgeAPI/v1/methods/Customer%20Information/addOrUpdateCustomerLocations/)

Locations represent the rental properties available in your platform. Your platform must maintain a list of unique location IDs across all merchants and locations. Location IDs are created when onboarding new leads using the [addPartnerLead](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/myLodgeAPI/v1/methods/Onboarding/addPartnerLead/) endpoint and when a new location is added using the [addOrUpdateCustomerLocations](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/myLodgeAPI/v1/methods/Customer%20Information/addOrUpdateCustomerLocations/) endpoint, as in the example below.

        }
    ]
