FAQ > Data Entry On The Worksheet

How do I track utility amounts that I pay that need to be collected from tenant?

For example you paid $200 for Water in January for the tenant. The tenant will be paying you the $200 in February.

Below are the steps you can take to track utilities paid for tenant and then bill to tenant:

1. Go to the “Customize Worksheet” page for the selected property.

2.Under Advert.,Utilities & Travel section, Check Water expense.This will create ‘Water’ expense under Expense section on Property Worksheet.

3. Since you paid $200 for Water in January for the tenant, enter it as an expense in January on Water expense row.

Then click on the Allocation icon,“Record Expense” pops up.Now click on Details and in “Due from tenant” select the tenant name.

4. When you get the $200 in February from the tenant for the Water bill, enter that amount in the February cell for the tenant. And then click on ‘Allocation Icon’ ,then click Allocate link and allocate 200$ for Water and Save. NOTE: If you get a single check from tenant for both the rent($1000) and Water expense($200), Allocate $1000 for rent and $200 for Water expense.
