  • The Rent and Payable fields are greyed out but can still be altered

    • Make required changes to one/both fields

To record a temporary change, two alterations need to be added
For example, if you need to enter a rent reduction for 3 months: the first alteration should be entered to cover the reduction, with a second alteration being added to start 3 months later, putting the rent back to its original rate
