In general, every month you should be reconciling your bank accounts and running reports to tie-out the cash breakdowns by rental owner. Most states require a three-way tie between these reports:
- Monthly bank reconciliation
- Trust account balance by owner / property
- Trust account details
These reports allow the state to see that transactions are recorded accurately and that each owner's balance is clearly defined.
