Utility, Rent and Property Billing

This package builds a billing system for property managers, landlords, campgrounds, marinas and small utilities that bill rent, water, power or service charges: rent schedules or meter readings turn into monthly bills, late fees follow your lease terms, and tenants pay and download receipts from their own portal. It replaces the rent ledger spreadsheet and the evening spent working out each unit's water bill.

Rent, readings and fees

Each unit carries its lease dates, rent amount, due day and any recurring charges such as parking or storage. On Business, meter readings are typed in or imported from a CSV, and the system prices them with your rate structure: a fixed monthly charge plus tiered usage. Late fees apply only after the grace days in your lease, and the amount comes from the clause you send me.

• Deposits are held separately and returned through a move-out statement with itemized deductions.
• Owner statements on Business show rent collected, fees and expenses per property.
• Premium splits a shared meter between units by size or occupants, and gives site staff a phone-friendly page to log readings with a photo of the dial.

How tenants pay

Card payments run through one gateway on Starter. Business adds bank debit, which costs far less per payment on rent-sized amounts: ACH in the US, PAD in Canada and BECS in Australia, through GoCardless or Stripe once your account is approved. Card and bank details stay with the provider; the portal stores only a reference.

What stays your responsibility

Late-fee caps, notice periods and whether you may resell utilities vary by state, province and country. Your lawyer or property association confirms the rules, and the system applies exactly what you approve. Gateway fees are paid to the provider.
