Charge Tenant

Top

Pay Management

The Charge Tenant function posts detailed charges to the selected tenant’s account. Multiple charges can be entered at the same time. A running total of the charges waiting to be posted is kept. You can select the tenant to charge by the Unit or Tenant. Charges can be posted against tenants with current, future, and past leases who are active.

 

When everything necessary has been entered, click POST Post to post the charge to the tenant ledger and exit the Tenant Charge function. Click NEW New to post the charge to the tenant ledger and enter another charge.

 

When a new charge is posted and there are open credits, all undisputed outstanding charges will be paid off if the total of all unpaid charges is less than or equal to the total open credits.
