Reviewed 12 November 2026 · Step-by-step guide

Where to start

Deposits → Move-out repairs / Open tenancy settlement

Before you begin

Have the actual cost, repair description and agreement about who pays.

RentRows settlement screen with fictional example records; Deposits → Move-out repairs / Open tenancy settlement — 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 former tenancy rather than an unrelated current tenant.
02
Record the repair and actual cost. Choose deposit funding only when enough deposit is held and the deduction is agreed.
03
If a landlord or an external payer funds the work, select that source and explain it. Do not label every repair as a deposit deduction.
04
Review the settlement after saving. Use the correction action with a reason if a repair was assigned to the wrong tenancy or amount.
05
Keep ordinary ongoing repairs in Expenses and Maintenance.

Check the result

Repair costs appear once under the right tenancy and reduce only the funds that actually paid.

Keep going
