Adding a Payment Split/ Arrangement to a Converted Tenancy

Use this Solution if you have had your Tenant's balances converted by Chintaro, and you need to set up Payment Split(s)/ Arrangement(s) before you import your Tenant's payments.

A Payment Split with split every time a payment is made. This is sometimes used to build up a credit, if there is no charge (EG If a Tenant wants to pay an extra $10 per week to build up a credit for water/utilities/etc).

A Payment Arrangement is when there is a debit to be paid off, and once that debt is paid off, Chintaro will stop splitting the payments.

Adding a Payment Split to a Tenancy

To tell Chintaro how to split the payments received, click the  function.

The Payment Arrangements function will open:

• Balance: Displays the Tenant’s current balance of both Rent & Non-Rent charges.
  
  
• Frequency: Tick the relevant payment frequency for your Tenant (either weekly or fortnightly).
  
  
• Transaction Type: Is used to indicate what type of payment the split will be (EG Garden Payment)
  
  
• Amount: The dollar figure of the split.
  
  
• Start Date: The date the split will start from. 
  
  
• Comments: Enter any relevant comments about the split.

Enter the above fields to match the charge you have entered for the Tenant.

You can set up to 5 payment splits in Chintaro.
