Console Pay when Entering a new Tenancy Agreement
Tenancies can be invited at the point of creating a tenancy or sent their invite from the individual profile. You can also setup rental payments, create bond and deposit or initial rent payments within Reapit PM.
To set up a tenancy at the point of entering the Tenancy Agreement follow the below steps.
- When creating a Tenancy Agreement, the final step will be to setup Console Pay. Click the Blue setup button next to the relevant Contact.
- Enter/Confirm Tenant Details and select to Debit for Regular Rent Details and confirm Debit Amount, Starting date and Frequency. Note: we recommend ensuring the debit date takes into account clearance time to prevent the tenancy falling into arrears.
- Click Next.
- Select Payment Method of Credit Card or Bank Account.
- Enter Payment details and hit Update to Save.
- Click Next.
- Select to Schedule Bond Payment and Initial Rent Payment if applicable, enter amount and select debit date and Click Finish.
- Once saved, click on the ellipses > Manage Console Pay.
9. Click the 3 Action Dots > Edit Preference in the Invoice Preferences section to express a preference for utilising Console Pay for direct debit transactions, including the option to schedule a direct debit for the same day and consolidate these into a single payment.
10. Select the Outgoings recurring invoice checkbox, and then click Save once completed.
*Note: In order to achieve a singular debit when a tenant has multiple debits due on a given day, refer to the next schedule debit date on recurring invoices and ensure it is the same as the rent [payment schedule debit date. Ay other manual payments e.g. bond top ups, when scheduled on a same day as a current debit will also form a single debit. The associated reciepting will automatically split these debits out into multiple receipts for receipt events.
The process can be repeated for additional contacts on the tenancy if required.
