Guaranteed rent - Covering the cost of an invoice on behalf of a landlord

Updated over 6 months ago

This may be carried out as a gesture of goodwill to the landlord, or where the invoice is covered as a part of the agent's services.

  1. Navigate to Financials > Landlord deductions

  2. From the left sidebar, select General fee with business expense

  3. Populate the form as required setting up the amount due from the landlord/to the contractor as follows:

    1. Fee due from landlord = £0

    2. Amount due to contractor = Full invoice amount

  4. Click Submit

  5. Locate the newly added deduction

  6. Click on the tick within the Include in ledger and statement column

The invoice will appear on Contractors > Contractor Summary. The payment will be taken from the guaranteed account without deducting funds from the owner.

When the payment clears, please assign the transaction to Category = Business and Subcategory = Cost of sales.
