Reviewed 12 November 2026 · Step-by-step guide

Where to start

Deposits / Tenancy → Use deposit for rent

Before you begin

Confirm agreement with the tenant and check the actual available deposit.

RentRows deposits screen with fictional example records; Deposits / Tenancy → Use deposit for rent — Fictional example records. Select the screenshot to open it at full size. Your names, dates and balances will differ.

Follow the steps

01
Open the correct tenancy and check the available deposit and outstanding rent.
02
Select Use deposit for rent and choose the exact rent bill. Enter an amount no greater than the held deposit or bill balance.
03
Read the preview. This uses money already received; it does not create a second cash receipt.
04
If the tenancy continues, review the deposit top-up requirement so the original agreed deposit can be restored.
05
Save and check the rent balance, held deposit and movement history.

Check the result

The chosen rent bill reduces and the available deposit reduces by the same amount.

Keep going
