Pet rent, parking and other recurring charges

Anything charged every month can post alongside rent — pet rent, a parking space, storage, a utility allocation. The resident gets one statement and one balance rather than several.

Each recurring charge carries its own description, and that description is what the resident reads. “Parking — bay 12” answers the question. “Misc” generates a phone call.

One-off charges

Add these directly to the ledger when they happen — a repair the resident is liable for, a replacement key, a fine. Same rule about descriptions.
