FAQ > Tracking Rents on Worksheet

How do I enter partial rent payments that I receive?

If a tenant’s lease information has been entered and you enter a partial rent payment on the worksheet, SimplifyEm.com Property Management Software will allocate the partial rent amount towards the rent.

For example, the rent amount on your lease for a tenant say Jane Doe is $100/month. For the month of June 2014, you received a partial rent payment of only $50.00. You will enter this $50.00 partial rent as follows:

1. Go to the property on the worksheet page which has that particular tenant row named Jane Doe.

2. Select the month you received the partial rent for. In this example, it is the month of June 2014.Enter the partial rent payment of $50.00 in the June cell and tab out. When you do this, SimplifyEm.com Property Management Software has allocated the $50.00 partial rent towards the June rent.

 

3. SimplifyEm.com Property Management Software saves the partial payment and calculates the remaining balance due. To view the remaining balance, go to the Tenant Balance History page under Tenants tab and you will see that the Due shows 100 Received shows 50.00 as the partial payment received and the remaining balance still shows 50.00 in red.
