Before you start

  • Use the correct tenancy and the actual amount, due date and period. Rent and service charges are separate charge types.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the tenancy's rent/charge ledger in Property Manager.
  2. Choose the appropriate rent or service-charge action.
  3. Enter the period covered, due date, amount and description requested by the form.
  4. Review any overlap or existing-charge warning before saving. Do not duplicate a charge because it has not yet been paid.
  5. Read the resulting balance and state. A charge becomes paid or partial only through recorded valid payment entries.
  6. If a charge was entered incorrectly, use the permitted correction or void workflow and its required reason.

Due is different from received

A charge says an amount is owed according to your records. It does not debit a bank account or prove the tenant has received a legal demand.

Overdue status depends on the recorded due date, balance and the service's date. Ending a tenancy can leave genuine arrears in the ledger. A service-charge balance should not be mistaken for unpaid rent.

Troubleshooting

A charge with payments cannot be voided
Review its payment records and the allowed correction order. Use reasoned void/correction controls rather than creating a negative or unrelated charge.
