How do I record a deposit the owner holds?
ForProperty managers
Who can do this
Organization admin (and members with Create Transactions), on a property with an active owner contract.
Where to find it
Lease page → Actions → Deposit → Where is the deposit held?
Steps
- In Who has the deposit?, pick The owner has it ("Tracked against the lease. Nothing is posted to your trust account.").
- The step shows Held by <owner> and the date the tenant paid it.
- Click Record deposit.
What happens next
Toast "Deposit recorded as held by the owner". The deposit card shows a "Held by owner" badge. Kera keeps tracking interest and the return deadline, but posts nothing to your trust account.
Limits
Not offered to solo Landlords or on properties without an active owner contract. A second last month's rent payment must be recorded the same way as the first (both owner-held or both in trust).
