Every rent payment is recorded against a lease, building a complete payment history per tenant and per unit. PropertyLink supports multiple payment methods (mobile money, bank transfer, cash, and more) and both ZMW and USD.
Recording a payment
- 1
Open Payments → Record Payment
Select the lease, enter the amount, date, method, and reference. The payment is immediately reflected on the tenant’s balance.
- 2
Let tax be handled for you
Where withholding/rental tax applies, the ZRA tax portion is calculated automatically so your records show gross, tax, and net amounts correctly.
- 3
Confirm to the tenant
Payment confirmations can go out via WhatsApp or email, and every message is stored in the communication log.
Tracking what’s owed
The payments list and dashboard financial overview show what has been collected and what is outstanding. Automated rent reminders can nudge tenants before and after the due date, cutting down on manual follow-ups.
Payments vs invoices
Invoices state what a tenant owes for a period; payments record what was actually received. Record both and PropertyLink keeps the running balance accurate.
