The Deposit Held section shows the total deposit currently held and the amount(s) invoiced, paid or credited - each area shows the number of transactions and the date of the transaction
For example, if the deposit is increased mid-way through the tenancy there may be two deposit invoices

• Deposit Invoiced: allows additional deposit invoices to be raised (i.e. if the deposit amount is to be increased) and shows details of the deposit invoice raised

• Deposit Paid: allows receipt of a deposit invoice and shows transaction details of any deposit payments received

• Deposit Credited: if a deposit invoice has been raised but not paid, a credit note for the deposit can be raised here - if the deposit has already been paid, the refund deposit function must be used to refund money to the tenant

4. Transferring to Landlord or Agent Deposit Account

Whether the deposit is transferred to the landlord’s landlord or agent’s agent deposit account is dependent on the Held by setting (as highlighted in step 1)
