Rental Payments

A payment with a Rental category is special, as it directly affects due dates of the tenant. Rental payments can only be created in consecutive months with the same date and a fixed amount (Rent fee).

Pending Rental payments are automatically created when the due date of the rental arrives. This prevents confusion and ambiguous dates among rental payments.

Creating Advanced Rental Payments

Collecting rental payments can be accessed by clicking the Collect Rental Payment button in the Unit Operations section of the Units or Unit Details page. A dialog box should appear with several input fields:

Multiple months

To create advanced payments for multiple months, the Payments Length menu can be selected to choose the number of months the rental is worth.

Using Credits

If a tenant has existing credits from past overpayments, the Use Remaining Credits selector will be enabled. Selecting this option will automatically deduct the usable credits from the current charges.

Other Notes

• The start date is disabled by default, but the value can be changed by updating the Due Date in the Unit Details page.
• The penalty field is disabled by default, and will only be activated when the tenant is overdue.
• To change the amount, update the Rent Fee first in the Unit Details page
• The email notification will only be sent if the Send email to tenant is ticked
• Attachments can be uploaded in the Attachments field.

Once finish is clicked, a payment is created and the due date of the tenant is updated automatically.

Update as of 07/31/2021:

• Replaced the end date with the payments length to select the number of months the rental payment is created for.
• Breakdown of the charges and period are shown as a summary
