Tenant Refunds

There are times when you will want to give a refund to a tenant for overpayments. 

Note: A refund is different than a Rent Discount, Credit, Concession, or Write off and Returning a Tenants Security Deposit, because the refund is coming from past income received. To accomplish a refund, an expense from the  Property will need to be created because it holds the original funds. 

How to Create a Tenant Refund

To refund a Tenant, there are 2 steps: 

Step 1 - Post an expense to the property the original funds were posted to.

1. Click Properties 
2. Right-click the Property that received the original income and click Post Expense

4. Post Expense

Step 2 - Edit the transaction to change the category 

1. Click Properties 
2. Click the balance to enter the ledger
