How do I correct what a tenant owes?

ForLandlordsProperty managers

Who can do this

Landlord; Organization users with Create Transactions.

Where to find it

Lease page → Rent tab → ⋮ "Rent actions" → Correct balance

Steps

  1. Open Correct balance ("Enter what the tenant owes you today. Kera works out which months are unpaid, newest first.").
  2. Enter Owing today. The months from before Kera update as you type.
  3. Change individual months if needed.
  4. Select Save.

What happens next

Toast Balance corrected ("The tenant owes $X today."). Only the difference posts, dated today. Anything owed from before the first month goes in a "Balance before <month>" row.

Limits

You can't enter less than what's owing on months charged in Kera: "The tenant already owes $X on months charged in Kera. Enter at least that, or record those payments first."

Troubleshooting

Today in a closed accounting period: tick Record it in a closed accounting period (needs Approve & Post Transactions). Not shown when no months have been charged, the schedule is removed, the lease is archived or the role lacks Create Transactions.
