After a rent is created in the Finance section, you can record multiple payments, for instance, if the rent is paid in chunks over a period of time. In order to do this click on the Record a payment action on the right.

Please pay attention to the payment date, as later it will determine to which period the item is allocated in the Balance section.

E.g. December 2017 rent entered as paid in January 2018 will be allocated to 2018 and not 2017.

If the sum of the amounts is greater than the rent due, then the tenant will have a positive balance which can be deferred to the following period.

Depending on the payment status the rent can be marked in different ways:

• Paid : the tenant has paid the rent.
• Waiting : the tenant has not yet paid however the due date has not passed.
• Late: the tenant has not yet paid and the due date has passed.
• Partial : Only a portion of the rent has been paid by the tenant.
