On this page
Open the lease you want to update. Payment policies appear when it has charges or a recurring schedule.
Step 1: Open payment policies
Go to Leases, open the lease and choose Settings. Find Payment policies.
Step 2: Allow a smaller payment
Turn on Allow partial payments. Review Settle older past-due charges first separately.
Step 3: Save the policy
Select Save settings. New payment requests use the saved rules; checkout links already issued keep their original quote.
How tenants pay
In Money, tenants choose Make a Payment and enter Amount to pay when partial payments are available. They review the fee and confirmation before paying.
Track the remaining balance
Review the payment and outstanding amount on the lease. A smaller payment leaves the rest owing; a processing payment is not a confirmed deposit.
Partial payments and assigned shares
Allow partial payments lets tenants contribute toward a balance. It does not assign each roommate a fixed share.

FAQs
Why is the amount locked?
Check Allow partial payments, online payment access and the selected payment destination. The renter sees a message when the full payable balance is required.
Can an older charge be paid first?
Yes. Settle older past-due charges first controls allocation separately from the partial-payment switch.
