Record rent and import bank statements

How rent works

Each active tenancy has a rent schedule: a charge for every rent period. When you record a payment, it’s set against the oldest unpaid charge first, so arrears are always worked out for you. Rent shows total arrears split into 0–30, 31–60 and 60+ days.

Record a payment

Choose Record payment on the dashboard, the Rent page or the tenancy. Enter the amount and date; part payments and overpayments are fine.

Import a bank statement

1. Download a statement from your bank as CSV or a spreadsheet.
2. Go to Rent and choose Import statement.
3. Keymews finds the date, amount and description columns, and suggests a tenancy for each payment in, based on names, addresses and amounts.
4. Check each suggestion, change any that are wrong, and record the ones you want.

Likely duplicates are flagged, and a line you’ve already imported is never recorded twice, so it’s safe to import overlapping statements.
