Before you start
- Confirm the rental, tenant records and agreed shares. Check that the same rent has not already been charged.
Step 1: Open the charge form
Open Create charge and choose Rental. The lease must have at least two eligible tenant records before Split the amount between tenants appears. Check every listed name.
Step 2: Enter the total and shares
Choose Category and enter Amount. Select Split the amount between tenants. Fill in every person's amount; the fields do not divide the total automatically. Enter 0.00 for anyone who owes none of this bill.
Step 3: Review the schedule
Choose One-time, Monthly or Weekly when available, then set the dates. Check Total: the shares must equal Amount exactly. Each nonzero share must be at least $0.50. Review the description, applicable fees and payment destination.
Step 4: Create and inspect each share
Choose Create only after checking all people and amounts. Rentari creates the nonzero portions for their assigned tenants. Review each charge or recurring schedule on the lease; do not create another full-rent bill for the same period.
Assign it to one tenant
Enter the full Amount for the responsible tenant and 0.00 for the others. A zero share does not create a bill for that person. This does not remove anyone from the lease.
What is recorded
Each nonzero share has its own tenant charge or recurring schedule, linked to the same split. Review the tenant names and amounts in Payments. Notifications concern each assigned amount.
Check the renter's actual payment view if something is missing. Creating a split does not enable Autopay; tenant payment setup is separate. Review the lease's fee policy without assuming the same full late fee will be duplicated for every person.
Change a split or remove a tenant
Use the offered charge or schedule editor for an eligible record. An edit does not automatically rebalance all roommates' amounts or move an issued bill to another tenant. Review the combined total and any payments first.
There is no general Unassign tenant action in this charge form. Changing tenancy membership has its own restrictions and agreement requirements. Resolve the actual billing arrangement before attempting a tenant change.
Split charges and partial payments
A split assigns a separate amount to each tenant. A partial payment records less than the amount owed on an existing charge. A bookkeeping split categorizes a transaction; it does not assign a rental bill to a roommate.

FAQs
Why is the split option missing?
The selected lease needs at least two eligible tenant records. A name or occupant entry alone may not be billable. Check the lease setup; do not add duplicate tenant records to reveal the control.
Why does Total show an error?
Enter every amount with up to two decimal places. The sum must equal Amount. Use 0.00 or at least $0.50 for each tenant.
Can each share have a different due date or destination?
Creation uses one selected schedule and payment destination for the split. Review a separate arrangement before making additional bills.
Can I replace the person on a sent charge?
The current editor does not reassign it. Review status and payments with support before replacing a charge; do not delete paid history.
