- 11/07/11 03:11 AM
New Update: User Roles Many of you have asked for a way to limit certain areas of 123Landlord for specific users. We've just implemented a balanced way to achieve this without getting too complex. We've added the following user types, or roles to the system:
As shown above, Viewer users can only see information, but cannot change or delete it. Editors can change information, but not delete it. Normal users can do everything except Admin functions, which of course Admin users can do. The role assigned to each user can only be changed by admin users, on the Admin screen. (0 comments)
property management software: Invoices & Receipts Now Envelope Friendly
- 11/07/11 03:09 AM
A request from a user recently came in to re-format the invoice and receipt reports to make them fit better into #9 and #10 envelopes with single and double windows. This was a great feature and would benefit all our users, so we did it - just fold and stuff:
Let's say you have a tenant that pays (for example) $1200 per month to rent one of your properties, but this month he/she can only pay $1100, and you decide this is acceptable. The system would (up until now) still expect the remaining $100 to be paid, and this would show as an outstanding balance on all related screens.
Or, let's say your particular jurisdiction doesn't permit you to collect late fees, but you operate based on a discount basis - that is, you (0 comments)

property management software: 123Landlord now supports all recurring charges easily!
- 11/07/11 03:03 AM
Previously, 123Landlord.com leases supported "other" non-rent charges in the most basic sense - users could add these charges to the lease, but they were informational only and did not cause these types of payments to become due in the system. Only Rent and Late Fees would show up as late, and you had to remember to collect your other types of payments on your own. Until now! Now, with the August 23 update, 123Landlord.com supports all of your recurring non-rent charges fully in the following ways and areas: On the "Payments Due" screen, all non-rent charges will appear as due.

July 08 - We've added a new feature to the Edit Lease screen now, which we're calling Lease Overrides. For all intents & purposes you won't see a drastic difference in the lease edit screen. You will now notice, though, that for existing leases the Payment Schedule is permanently visible and each payment due date and amount is a hyperlink that you can click:
Clicking on a hyperlink will display the Edit Due Date & Amount window which will let you override the due date for the payment, or the amount due for that period, or both!

property management software: Late Fees Now Appearing on Current Balances
- 11/07/11 02:58 AM
July 11 - Late Fees Will Now Display as Separate Line Items Up until now, the current balances screen only showed outstanding rent. The only way you could see the full tenant balance, including late fees, was to view each tenant's detail page individually, and look at the Statement of Charges tab.
Now, we've integrated Late Fees into all current balance screens as separate line items. These also appear on the Dashboard late payments list (we've renamed it from Late "Rent" to Late "Payments" to better represent what this is now) and the late payment counts on the far (0 comments)

July 19 - Better Organization - Now You Can File Away Payments We just added the ability to archive payments - as time goes on, your Payment History will start to appear rather cluttered, especially if you have your date range filter to set to "All". Now, though, you can file away these payments and essentially hide them from the main payment history view. We call it "archiving". Everything about the payment stays the same, it is just flagged into a different list - the "Archived Payments" page. The toolbar now contains a link to this page, where all archived payments (0 comments)
