How to Setup Tenant Invoice Credit Feature

The Tenant Invoice Credit feature introduces a tenant ledger to manage advance tenant payments. This ledger controls the funds kept in credit, and ensures that they are not incorrectly paid out to owners as rent.

The feature will enable you to reduce time spent on debt collection for items such as water rates as tenants will be paying in advance. You will also be able to easily account for funds in credit through new reports and on screen prompts included with this enhancement.
