An accounting ledger is a book or digital record containing incoming and outgoing entries.
In SWORP, we have 3 types of Ledgers:
Tenant Ledger:
Records all transactions and payments between a tenant and a landlord. Payments in the tenant ledger act fluid as default.
Examples of transactions that will go into the tenant ledger:
– Tenant related Income (Money in)
- Rent
- Late fees
- Pet fees
- Damage charges
- etc.
– Tenant related Expenses (Money out)
- Return of utilities deposit overpayment
- Rent discounts
- Refunds on agreed purchases
- etc.
Property Ledger:
Records all transactions and payments related to a property (Building or Unit). Since the payments related to a property can be of a very varied nature, all payments in the property ledger will act static.
Examples of transactions that will go into the property ledger:
– Building related Income (Money in)
- Billboard rental
- Coin laundry
- Common area rentals
- etc.
– Building related Expenses (Money out)
- Building repairs
- Building cleaning fees
- Building gardening fees
- Pest control
- Property tax
- Travel expenses
- Insurance
- etc.
Property Subledger
Property subledgers record recurrent expenses associated with a property, such as utility payments or regular services agreements. Payments within a subledger act fluidly, as these transactions involve the same payer-receiver.
Examples of transactions that will go into the property subledger:
- Electricity monthly deposit
- Water monthly deposit
- Repair fund
- Cleaning fees
- Gardening fees
- etc.
