Adjust a Tenant's Rent Due Date

If you need to correct an incorrect rent due date or change the day a tenant's rent is due, you can update the Recurring Transactions settings in your Rentec Direct account.

These instructions are for changing the due date of a recurring rent charge.

How to Change a Tenant's Rent Due Date

You can easily change the day rent is due by updating the Begin Date and Interval Day in the recurring transaction settings.

System Note: Editing recurring transactions is an advanced procedure. Changes to these settings can affect your accounting and how the program operates. Follow these instructions carefully and only change the fields identified below.

In your Rentec Direct account:

1. Click Settings
2. Under Financial, click on Recurring Transactions

3. Find the tenant's recurring rent transaction and click the Paper/Pencil edit icon on the right

   

   
   
4. Under Date Range and Interval, update these two fields:
   1. Begin Date: Enter the future date the updated rent schedule should begin

   2. Interval Day: Enter the day rent is due within the billing interval. For example, if you bill a tenant monthly and rent is due on the 1st, enter 1. The billing interval may be weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Hover over the ? help icon for more details about this setting.

      Important: Do not change the Action, Category, End Date, or Type unless you understand how those settings affect your ledgers, invoices, and reports.

      

      
      
5. Click Update Transaction to save your changes

System Note: The updated due date will apply to the recurring rent transaction based on the Begin Date and Interval Day you entered. Any early or late fee rules you've set up will automatically apply to the new due date.
