Tenancy Screen - Statements

Modified on Tue, 21 Feb, 2023 at 11:46 AM

Chintaro has a number of statements that can be printed to show a Tenant their balance(s) of transaction groups. A Tenant may request a ledger, you may print them routinely at the end of each month or they may be used when you are attending your State's tribunal. 


This solution details:


Printing a standard statement (individual)

To print a Statement, from the Home Screen, click Tenancies, then Manage Tenancies and double click on the Tenant you want to print the Statement for and the Tenancy screen will open. 


Click the Print Statement button:

Select your options from the Statement Options pop up:
 
OptionDescription
Type
  • A Client Statement will print a statement showing all transactions (Rent and Non Rent), 
  • A Rent Statement will print a statement showing only Rent Charges and Payments 
  • A Non Rent Statement will print a statement showing all Non Rent Charges and Payments (everything in the Tenancy Transactions ledger that is not Rent)
  • A SACAT Statement is used for South Australian Chintaro Users only, to take to their State's tribunal
  • A NSW Statement will print a statement for New South Wales' Chintaro users only
  • A Transaction Group statement will print all transactions related to a group (EG Water, or Utilities)
Optional Statement Start Date and an Optional Statement End DateEnter an Optional Statement Start Date and an Optional Statement End Date if you want to print the statement for a period of time (EG Calendar Year, Last Financial Year, etc.). If you leave these fields blank, you will print all of the Transactions that belong to this particular Transaction Group from Tenancy Transactions ledger from the beginning of the Tenancy.
Optional Statement Text You are able to enter Optional Statement Text if you would like text to be printed at the end of the Statement that will appear highlighted in yellow. To save time in entering common Statement Texts, default Statement text can be added by your System Administrator, via System Maintenance>Reference Tables> Statement Text.
Optional Note TypeSelect the Optional Note Type as 'Statement'. If you enter Optional Statement Text, this text will default in the Note Text section, and a Note will be created in the Notes section of the Tenancy Record.


Click Continue to view the preview of the Statement, which includes:

  • Details of your Organisation in the header of the Statement.
  • ‘Client Statement’ appears underneath your Organisation’s name
  • Tenant’s Name/s & Address
  • Payment Book ID if applicable
  • Tenancy Start Date
  • Tenancy End Date if this is a Vacated Tenancy. This will be blank if this is an Active Tenancy.
  • Currently Weekly Rent amount
  • Rent Calculated To date
  • Rent Paid To date
  • Balance As At Today which is the dollar amount the Tenant/s are paid to as at today
  • Opening Balance of the Tenancy
  • Final Balance


The body of the Statement will show all of the charges and payments (rent and non-rent) in the Tenancy Transactions ledger. 


Click Exit to close the statement screen.


Printing an SACAT specific statement

The SACAT Statement is used by South Australian Chintaro users to print and provide the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal with evidence of a Tenant's rent arrears. This style of statement is different to all other Chintaro statements, and  is the only acceptable format for SACAT.  


To print an SACAT Statement, from the Home Screen, click Tenancies, then Manage Tenancies and double click on the Tenant you want to print the Statement for and the Tenancy screen will open. 


Click Print Statement from the screen functions (blue buttons) and select SACAT from the Mandatory Statement Type field.
The SACAT Statement does not allow you to enter an optional statement start or end date as it requires the entire rental history printed. 


You are able to enter Optional Statement Text if you would like text to be printed at the end of the Statement that will appear highlighted in yellow. To save time in entering common Statement Texts, default Statement text can be added by your System Administrator, via System Maintenance>Reference Tables> Statement Text.


Select the Optional Note Type as 'Statement'. If you enter Optional Statement Text, this text will default in the Note Text section, and a Note will be created in the Notes section of the Tenancy Record.


Click Continue to view the preview of the Statement:

The SACAT Statement will show in landscape format, and will only show Rent Payments (no charges). 


Click Print to send the statement to the printer, or Close Print Preview to return to the Tenancy screen.

Statement Sort Order

In some instances you may wish to prioritise Debits over Credits or vice versa on a Tenant's statement, for transactions that have occurred on the same day.

As standard, Chintaro will record transactions based on the time they are entered - you are now able to reorder transactions that are made on the same day by following the steps below.


To change the sort order of a statement, from the Home screen, click System Maintenance, then Reference Tables and select Parameters. Scroll down to StatementOrder:


In the Parm Text field put CRDR if you would like credits to come before or DRCR if you wish for debits to come first (please see below for examples). If you would like your transactions to preference Debits use DRCR:



If you would like your transactions to preference Credits CRDR:


Note this only affects transactions that have taken place on the same day.
