Where to start

Service funds / Landlord bills

Before you begin

Use an agency workspace and confirm the service-charge agreement.

Follow the steps

  1. 01

    Review the owner’s service bills and whether contributions come from direct payments or deductions from collected rent.

  2. 02

    Record a direct contribution against the correct service bill. Use the service receipt option where one payment covers several bills.

  3. 03

    Check that a rent deduction already funding the service charge is not also treated as a new direct-payment debt.

  4. 04

    Record property costs against the service fund only when that fund paid.

  5. 05

    Review contributions, spending and the current fund balance in the service-fund view and reports.

Check the result

The fund shows money available for property costs without presenting it as agency profit.
