Add a charge to a lease

Start: the lease, Charges tab Result: a charge that appears on that lease’s next invoice.

Editing a lease charge affects this tenant only. It does not touch the unit’s template or any other lease.

Steps

1. Open the lease and go to its Charges tab.
2. Add the charge and set who bears it, its kind and its amount.
3. Set whether it is pro-ratable.
4. Save.

Which kind?

Kind	Use when
Fixed	the same every month - rent, a fixed admin fee
Variable	the amount changes monthly - a municipal bill
Metered	variable, and you want the reading on record - water, electricity
Once-off	it does not repeat

A variable charge blocks the invoice from being issued while its amount for that period is blank. A blank is not a zero - if the answer genuinely is zero, enter 0 and the invoice will issue.

For something genuinely one-off and unrelated to the monthly cycle, an ad-hoc invoice may fit better - see invoices.
