\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bilterm\u2019s rent ledger is manual: you record each payment and each charge. That sounds old-fashioned, but it means the ledger always matches reality \u2014 no sync surprises, no duplicate transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open the building and go to the Rent<\/strong> tab \u2014 \u201cRent & Payment Management.\u201d<\/li>
  2. Click Record Payment<\/strong>.<\/li>
  3. In the dialog, pick the Lease<\/strong> the payment belongs to (the picker shows current leases, e.g. \u201cUnit 93 \u00b7 Sep 20, 2026 \u2013 Sep 19, 2027\u201d).<\/li>
  4. Enter the Amount received<\/strong> and the Date received<\/strong> (calendar picker) \u2014 both required.<\/li>
  5. Choose the Payment Method<\/strong>: Transfer, Cheque, Cash, Card, Digital wallet, or Other. Save.<\/li>
  6. To bill something \u2014 monthly rent, a fee, an adjustment \u2014 use the record-charge action instead. It creates a debt entry on the same ledger.<\/li>
  7. To forgive an amount, use Waive debt<\/strong>. The waiver is recorded with an audit trail rather than silently deleting the charge.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    • Record payments the day they arrive. A ledger that\u2019s a month behind is a ledger you stop trusting.<\/li>
    • The Payment Method<\/strong> field is worth filling in honestly \u2014 when a tenant disputes a payment six months later, \u201cCash, recorded same day\u201d settles the argument.<\/li>
    • Waiving is better than deleting. A waived debt shows the full story; a deleted charge looks like the books were cooked.<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
