Post a Rent Charge to a Lease Before the Due Date

Set rent charges to post a few days before they're due, giving tenants extra time to pay.

Written by Samuel

Overview

Rent charges normally post on the date they're due, based on the rent schedule — for example, if rent is due on the 1st, it posts on the 1st of the month. You can instead configure rent to post several days earlier, giving tenants more time to make a payment before the due date.

The Steps

  1. To set up rent charges that post before the due date, click Settings on the main menu. Then under the Property Settings, click Rent & Payment Notifications.

  2. On the Rent & Payment Notifications window, go to the Rent Posted section and toggle on Post charges to the account before the due date. Enter the number of days before rent is due. This is how many days before the due date the rent charge will post.

  3. (Optional) Choose whether to send a notification to the tenant when rent is posted, and whether to attach any account statements or invoices to the notification.

  4. Click Save to finish.

Rent charges will now post on the schedule you set, ahead of the actual due date.

Tip: To set this up for a specific property instead of using your company default, follow the steps below:

  1. Click Rentals > Properties on the main menu and select the property.

  2. Click the Settings tab, then click Rent & Payments Notifications. Choose Specify notifications for this property, then follow the same steps above to set the Rent Posted toggle and the number of days before rent is due.
