What is an invoice?An invoice is used to move money from one person to another For example, a rent invoice is created - this shows on the tenant ledger that the tenant needs to pay rent When this invoice is paid, the money will then be moved to the landlord ledger. |
What does part paid rent mean?The tenant is due to pay the specified rent either on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly frequency as per their lease agreement. This amount is raised as a rent invoice, for that period in your Reapit database. If the tenant pays only part of the amount due, or pays more, then a part payment is created. Scenario: A tenant pays $350 weekly starting from the 01/01/2020. The rent invoice is created for the period 01/01/2020 to the 07/01/2020. Example 1: The tenant makes a payment of $300. They have part paid $300, leaving $50 unpaid. Example 2: The tenant makes a payment of $450. They have paid $350 to the 07/01/2020 with $100 part paid. The $50 has been paid towards the rent for the period 08/01/2020 to 14/01/2020, giving them an effective paid to date of 16/01/2020 |
What is a deposit?When you see deposit in the Reapit system, it is referring to the tenant bond |
Where do I record or view the bond number?From the tenancy, in the Accounts panel - beside Deposit, click Manage. In the Deposit Protection section, enter the bond number in the Registration No. field |
Where do you locate how much rent a tenant has that is currently outstanding?If the tenant is in arrears, the outstanding amount will be displayed on the tenancy screen, including the effective arrears. The total of any unpaid non-rent invoices will also be displayed |
Where can I find the paid to date?On the tenancy, Details screen, the paid to date and effective paid to date is displayed The paid to date is inclusive and is the paid to date of the last fully paid rent period For example: if the rent was due for the period 01/01/2020 to 07/01/2020 and the paid to date displayed as 07/01/2020, that means the rent period has been paid in full. If only part of this rent period had been paid, the paid to date would display as paid to 31/12/2019 and the effective paid to date would reflect the partial payment based on the amount paid The paid to date can also be seen on the Chase Arrears screen |
