- What is unknown tenant?
When the tenant name and property name in a rental transaction do not match what you have currently entered in Quicken, it considers the tenant as an unknown tenant. When Quicken displays the unknown tenant on the Rent Center page, you can't click the tenant name for editing tenant information.
Things you should look for include:
- A rental property transaction for a property in which the payee is not a tenant in Quicken.
- A rental property transaction for a tenant in which the property is not the property the tenant has currently rented.
- Quicken displays informational icons on the Rent Center to indicate late payment, lease expiry, and vacant property.
- What do the icons mean?
Vacant unit: If the property or unit in the current view is vacant , a red house appears near the property or unit name.
Rent due: If rent is due from a tenant, a green clock appears near the tenant name, and the tenant name appears bold.
Rent Overdue: If the current date is past the rent due date including the grace period, a red icon appears near the tenant name, and the tenant name appears bold.
Late payment: If you enter rent payment late in a specific month, a red clock appears in the month column. The icon does not indicate that late fee is due from the tenant.
Lease Ends: If a tenant's lease is due to expire in a month, a red square appears in the month of expiry.
Notes
- The rent amount in the month columns shows the rent due or rent paid. But if the rent from a tenant is overdue, then the amount in the month column includes the rent expected and the late fee applicable.
- The Totals row shows the total of the amounts in the specific column. The total amount displayed at the bottom of the column indicates a sum of rent received as well as rent expected.
- Quicken displays an Overdue column only if the rent from a tenant is overdue.
- When a tenant moves out, Quicken ends the rent reminders for the tenant, and the rent amount is removed from the months after the move-out date.
