A recurring charge is an automated posting mechanism that shows money owed from a resident based on a preset frequency.
For example:
- Whenever a new tenant with a pet is set up as a resident, a recurring charge for Pet Rent income is set up.
- I use recurring charges to automatically post both water use charges as well as trash removal charges.
- Recurring fees make staying on top of how much residents owe easier than manually entering each and every charge as they occur.
Some common situations when you might want to update recurring charges in bulk:
- It's a common time of year for renewing leases, and you need to update recurring charges for services like parking or storage for the next lease term.
- You've just added individual recurring charges in bulk and you'd like to change the amount or memo.
Note: You cannot update or delete rent charges from this page.
