Set up landlords

  • If a landlord has multiple properties and has separate statements, individual ledgers are set up for each property 
  • If there are landlords in the system multiple times, with properties attached to them, a main landlord record is created and the properties moved over to the one landlord record and ledgers set up accordingly
  • If the landlord has multiple properties and requires a single statement, ensure the ledger is set up correctly
  • If one or more landlords are overseas, ensure they are set up on separate records and the property ownership summary updated, as they must be accounted for individually

  • Set a default statement remark and a default invoice remark
