| Category | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Rent | Rent for a month that was not generated, such as a correction. |
| Service charge | A prepayment for operating costs outside the monthly cycle. |
| Deposit | The deposit agreed in the lease. See Deposits. |
| Late fee | A fee for late payment, where your contract allows it. |
| Utility | Water, heating, electricity or another cost you pass on. |
| Repair | Damage the tenant is responsible for. |
| Other | Anything else. |
Good to know
- Charges you add by hand are never replaced by the monthly generation.
- Amounts must be greater than zero. To take a charge back, void it. See Void a charge or payment.
- A one-off charge counts in the balance and in arrears from its due date.
Tip: Use a charge with the category utility or other for the balance of a year-end operating-cost statement (Nebenkostenabrechnung), with the year in the description.
