You can now choose to enable partial payments on the Landlord Studio system.

By enabling partial payments you are allowing your tenants to adjust how much rent they choose to pay.

For example, if the rent is $300/pm, but the tenant wants to pay it in two payments of $150 a week apart, you could enable partial payments to allow this.

It is recommended that you only enable partial payments if you have first agreed with your tenants on this.

Partial payments can be controlled at both a global level, meaning you can change for all properties at once, this is defaulted "Off", and at a lease level, meaning you can allow partial payments on specific leases for specific tenants.

Step 3: If you haven't already, "Enable Online Rent Collection". When you do this an option will appear below it to "Accept Partial Payments"
