1. Property record

Note

The traditional English quarter date frequency is set on the tenancy - therefore, on the property, the rent frequency should be set as usual - e.g. per month

2. English quarter date options on tenancy

For a new tenancy, on tenancy record:

  • The Initial rent frequency (on the Details tab) should be set to BrEng. Quarter
    The initial rent shows using the amount and frequency set on the property record - the quarterly payment amount is shown below

  • When adding an alteration or renewal, the above collection frequencies are pulled from the tenancy for rent, letting fees & management fees
    English quarter dates can continue to be used for rent and fees on the alteration/renewal but they can also be changed to another frequency type, as required

3. Rent & fee breakdown

Tip

Applicable when using Reapit for Client Accounts

The rent and fee breakdown can be used to view the calculations for the rent & fees for each quarter

On the tenancy, Accounts Functions panel (bottom right):

  • Click the arrow to the right of Invoicing to expand the section and select Display rent and fee breakdown

    BQD - accounts panel.png

The Rent and Fee Calculation breakdown is displayed for the whole tenancy period:

  • For a part-quarter period, rent and fees are calculated using a pro-rata daily rate to calculate the required amounts
    This can be seen in the example below for the first quarter being billed - due to the tenancy only starting on 01/03 and the next quarter date being just a few weeks later (on 25/03), a calculation has been made to cover the first few weeks from 01/03-24/03 before the next full quarter starts (from 25/03-23-06)

  • When an alteration/renewal applies, this will also affect how the rent and fees are calculated
    This can be seen in the example below for the quarter dated 24/06-29/06, this is due to the tenancy having an alteration from 01/09

Tip

When there is a difference in daily rates between quarters - this is due to quarter lengths varying meaning that the daily rate also needs to vary too
The number of days in each quarter vary between 87 and 97
