Record a rental expense

Intended outcome

Create a complete expense that can be filtered and reported.

Prerequisites

Have the source document, property, transaction and payment dates, amount, description, category, and vendor.

Steps

1. Open Expenses and select Add expense.
2. Choose the property and unit where applicable.
3. Enter description, amount, dates, and payment information.
4. Select a category and optional vendor, then save.
5. Verify the expense under the intended filters.

Expected result

The expense appears for the selected property and dates; paid records can contribute to cash-basis reports.

Common problems

• Create missing values in Expense categories or Vendors.
• Check property, date range, paid state, and report basis when an item is absent.

Product boundaries

Categories organize records but do not determine tax deductibility. Retain source documents and ask your accountant about treatment.
