Simple Example - A Typical Tenancy
The client accounting features are designed to record and manage the incoming and outgoing payments of the client bank account. A typical managed tenancy will work something like this:
- Rent becomes due
- Rent Demand (to indicate rent due) and Landlord Invoice (for management/admin fees) is produced
- Tenant pays rent into client bank account
- Rent payment is recorded and allocated to the relevant Rent Demand
- Landlord Invoice is paid from client bank account
- Landlord statement is produced showing incoming rent, management fees deduction and payment to landlord of the remainder
Follow the following steps to complete all the above tasks.
