Recurring charges

Recurring charges are amounts that repeat on a schedule (e.g. monthly rent, quarterly service fees). Nyumba Zetu can generate invoices or charge entries from these schedules so you don’t have to create each one manually.

Where to find recurring charges

  1. Sign in to the app.
  2. In the sidebar, open FinanceRecurring charges or Recurring invoices (or under LeasesRecurring charges, depending on your menu).
  3. You’ll see a list of recurring charge definitions, often grouped by lease or tenant.

Setting up a recurring charge

1

Open recurring charges

Go to FinanceRecurring charges (or the Leases equivalent).
2

Add a new recurring charge

Click Add and select the lease or tenant and unit.
3

Define the charge

Enter the amount, description (e.g. “Monthly rent”), frequency (e.g. monthly, weekly), and start date. Set an end date if the charge should stop after a certain period.
4

Save

Save. The system will use this to generate invoices or charge entries on the schedule (depending on your app’s behaviour).

Editing or ending a recurring charge

Open the recurring charge from the list and edit the amount, frequency, or dates. To stop future generation, set an end date or deactivate the charge so no new invoices are created.
Recurring charges are often created when you set up a lease. Check the lease form for an option to add default rent as a recurring charge.
