You can pay more than one Landlord at the same time using Multiple Landlord Payments.

You're able to:

  • Include invoices up to a chosen date
  • Ensure overseas Landlords retain tax to pay HMRC
  • Attach a Contractors invoice
  • Exclude items from payment
  • Pay Landlords with zero balances
  • Defer printing/emailing of Landlord statements to later
  • Add a message to the Landlord statement
  • View any reminders/sticky notes that appear for any payment note
  • View a message if any Works orders are outstanding

Once rent has been received, money will show on the Landlord Payment and on their Account, less any Contractor expenses and fees due.

 Note

If you have Landlords who are paid by different methods, change the Pay Type to their Payment Type, located on the Landlord Information, Bank Details tab. The screen will refresh so you can pay all Landlords who are paid by Cheque and so on

Show a Landlord with zero balances

  • Provided a Landlord has transactions on their statement, you can produce a statement even if the balance is zero
  • If the Landlord has Retain all selected, they will already appear in the list
  • If they have a zero balance for any other reason, they won’t show unless you tick the box for Show zero balances
