Hi, thanks Adrien. I really don't know if I'm subscribed to the list or what or not.  I'm very inept at this mailing list thing. It was only on my last reply that I actually found the 'reply to all' facility on Yahoo mail here.  And I used it.  Previously I've been laboriously copying and

Thankyou for that.  Just about cleared everything up for me.  I can proceed with some confidence now. I said last time it was reminding him of outstanding was the problem. I got that a bit wrong - a bigger problem is when he's overpaid. Did I mention he sometimes overpays?  $20 or $30.  His

One trick I've heard works wonders from someone who has used it: Don't *just* charge a late fee. Bymp your rent to *include* the (former) late fee and still list the late fee. Then offer a discount (removing the original late fee) for early payment. For example: Current Rent $1000 Current

The process needs to be right before worrying about the accounts: 1. If your tenant is reluctant to pay rent find a new tenant, no different to any other business clients that are hard work. 2. Weekly tenant notices with the amount owing seems more like harassment, and too much work

Thanks for that. I am after finding proper business practice.  So I guess I should not be invoicing for the total amount I see as outstanding? I should invoice for each week  and when there is an outstanding unpaid amount I could note that on the invoice perhaps? Or perhaps send a 'statement of

You might find it easier to invoice monthly sending that first. Then send a Customer Report each following week, which will reflect payments, and thus the amount outstanding, automatically. That would significantly reduce the effort on your part, and the number of invoices in your system.

IF you were to use GnuCash's invoicing system, then each (weekly) invoice needs to be $300, because that's the additional amount he owes each invoice period. To show to TOTAL owed you would need to supply a Customer Report, which takes invoices and payments into account. In your case you

I only have to invoice one tenant is all so it's no big deal.  But I would like to know what I'm doing. Currently gnucash is not doing it for me though I keep an account for him on it. I know it is a bit unreal and unusual but I invoice him every week - we've found that's the only way to remind

If I understand what you are trying to do, you can't directly. 1. Create another income/revenue account. (if using the tax features, don't link it to anything) 2. Invoice the members with the line-item assigned to this other account. 3. After receiving payment create a transaction moving
