How do I "charge back" expenses to tenants?

Updated over 2 months ago

This procedure allows you to distribute a payable invoice directly to tenants. It can also be used for charging a tenant for something they caused, for example, a broken window. For Commercial properties, it can be used as an alternative to (or in addition to) charging estimates for expenses and doing a reconciliation at the end of the year.

1. Open the payable you want to distribute (Accounting > Payables).

2. Click the Charge Tenants button. The Batch Charge screen appears.

3. The screen contains information about the payable line item you are distributing and the charges you are going to create. The date fields are a filter for the tenants.

You can also select a specific tenant, if needed.

4. Select a Distribution Method: Even, Flat Amount, or None.

  • If you select Even, Breeze divides the payable amount evenly among the tenants.

  • If you select Flat Amount, Breeze charges each tenant the amount in the Amount field.

  • If you select None, Breeze leaves the amount fields blank so you can fill them in later.

5. Select a Charge Code.

6. Click Calculate. The screen shows the charges that will be created.

7. Review the charges. You can deselect a tenant, if needed. You can also edit the amounts.

8. Click Post. Breeze creates the charges.

To view a charge, click a detail line. One of the charges is shown below.
