Working the collections list
A weekly routine for past-due balances, with the assistant doing the routine reminders.
Leasing › Collections shows real balances, computed live from open charges, so what you see always agrees with the ledger. Use it with the assistant's Rent collections settings to keep past-due balances small.
Weekly routine
- Open Leasing › Collections.
- Review payment plans waiting for approval. Approve, and late fees stop while the plan is kept; decline, and the resident goes back to regular reminders.
- Review open pursuits by outstanding balance, largest first.
- Call anyone whose balance is growing and who has not replied to reminders. A human call works when texts have not.
- Check anything the assistant passed to your team: disputes, hardship, bankruptcy, attorneys and military service always come to you.
- Note every promise to pay on the lease so the next person sees it.
