Understand your Payments dashboard

Read charge activity, find a tenant payment and check bank deposits.

Step 1: Open Payments

Open Payments > Overview. Use the payment menu to switch to Charges, Deposits or Payment settings.

Step 2: Choose the period

Select This month, Month-to-date or Year-to-date. Select a summary row to open the matching Charges view with that period.

Current Rentari Overview with This month, Month-to-date and Year-to-date controls and five summary rows: Past due, Unpaid, Paid, In transit and Deposited.
Choose a period and open a summary row to review its charges. These amounts belong to fictional rentals.

Step 3: Review charges

Open Charges. Use Search charges, Rental and Time period. Filters contains Category and Status. Check Unpaid, Paid or All, then open the charge details.

Current Rentari Charges page filtered to a fictional rental with one past-due charge, amount, balance due and Send reminder.
Use the rental and time filters, then review the charge balance.

Read the summary

The summary follows charge activity. It is not a bank statement. Review the individual charge balance before collecting or recording another payment.

AmountWhat to check
Past dueCharges marked past due in the chosen period. Open the charge to see the remaining balance.
UnpaidCharges in the unpaid status. Past-due charges appear separately.
ChargesThe period’s charged total is represented by the collection bar.
PaidRecorded collected charge activity, including outside payments.
In transitCollected charges in the in-transit stage.
DepositedCollected charges in the deposited stage; use Deposits to compare the actual bank payout.

Why Paid and Deposited differ

Outside payments do not create online payouts. Online payments and bank payouts also move through separate stages. The overview follows charge amounts; grouped payouts and fees can make the bank amount different.

Find a tenant or missing charge

In Charges, use Rental, Search charges, Time period and Filters. Category and Status narrow the list further. Check Unpaid, Paid or All. Open the lease Payments tab to confirm the charge belongs to that tenant.

A charge can be unpaid before it is overdue. Check its due date and schedule rather than assuming a fixed number of days before rent is due.

Read payment details

Open the charge details and select Payment details when offered. Match the amount, date and reference. Payment money flow shows the available stages and notes; missing or unavailable data does not prove that no payment occurred.

Use the available actions

Record offline payment, Send reminder and editing actions depend on the charge state. Review the record before acting. Do not record the same online payment again; linked bank activity can prevent an offline entry.

Current charge menu with View details, Lease payments, Edit, Record offline payment and Void; no action has been submitted.
The charge menu offers the actions available for this record.

Follow bank deposits

Open Deposits separately. Use Rental, Lease, Tenant and Date range filters, then Apply filters. Check the destination bank, amount and status. An estimated date is not confirmed arrival.

Expand the included-charge details where available. A grouped payout retains its full bank amount even when a filter matches only some charges. Outside-payment records do not create online deposits.

Current Deposits page filtered to the fictional Maple lease, with Rental, Lease, Tenant and Date range controls and No deposits found.
Use the filters to find a bank payout. This rental has no matching deposits.

Export records

Apply the filters on Charges and select Export. On Deposits, select Export CSV. This export can include both in-transit and deposited records, so check the status column.

Rent roll report offers Generate & export CSV. Lease Payments has its own available export. Use the export guide to choose the right report and date range.

Create a charge or change settings

Use + New for Charge, Credit, Security deposit return or Rent collection setup. Record payment opens the outside-payment form. Open Payment settings to review collection setup.

Accounting and phone access

Use Accounting for property income, expenses and financial reports. The Payments summary alone is not a complete accounting report.

On a phone, open the same account in a browser and use the Payments menu. See mobile troubleshooting if the screen does not load. Rentari does not currently document an iOS Payments home-screen widget.

Check the result

  • You can identify the period, charge balance and bank-deposit stage before taking action.

FAQs

Why does the In transit row open Charges?

Each overview row opens matching charge activity and keeps the selected period. Open Deposits separately for bank-payout records.

Why are my Unpaid and Past due amounts separate?

They are separate status groups. Open the charge to review its due date, amount already paid and remaining balance.

Why are some records missing from an export?

Check the report, filters and period. A charge export and a bank-deposit export have different scopes. The Deposits export can include in-transit records.

Why do I have no deposits?

Outside payments do not create online deposits. Check your online collection readiness and filters, then review the individual payment if you expected a bank payout.

Can I record a payment that already appears online?

Do not add another offline entry for the same payment. Review its existing activity first.
