Step 4: Bill the Violation to the Lease

If you need to charge a tenant a fine for a violation, you can create a bill directly linked to the record. Inside the violation details, click Lease Bills in the top navigation bar, then follow these steps:

  • Under Chart of Accounts, scroll to Association Fees and select Association Fine.
  • Enter the Amount and a Description of the fine.
  • Select Property Bill to assign the charge to the tenant.

Click OK to finish. The bill will then be accessible under the lease bills section.
