If you need to refund a Landlord from your Agency Fees, you can do it via a negative Additional Fee.

You can add additional fees on either the Landlord or the Property screen. Where you add it will affect how it shows on the Landlord statement, i.e. whether it shows under the Landlord direct or under the Property.

 Note

If your Landlord is registered as overseas or has shared ownership, the additional fee should always be added to the Landlord Information and the refund shared between all Landlords with shared ownership.
