Arrears from earlier periods

Closing a period never writes money off. A bill still unpaid at close becomes an arrears item, and Letnook keeps it in view until it is collected.

An unpaid bill becomes arrears This period Received 1,500 Still owed 120 Next period Arrears 120 The arrears item keeps the sealed bill, tax included, until it is paid.
Unpaid bills leave the period as arrears; the new period starts with a fresh bill.

Where arrears come from

  • Closing a period: every let space with a complete bill that is still unpaid.
  • A move-out whose final bill was not paid and was not settled from the deposit.

Each item is a sealed copy of that bill, with its tax, so later changes to rent or tax do not alter what is owed.

Where you see them

On Collect under Outstanding, an Arrears group sits above this period's list, with each item's space, tenant, From period and amount. The space screen shows Arrears with the amount, and the Overview's Outstanding figure notes how much is arrears.
