For a property team in Kitui, the daily task is to identify the remaining balance, confirm the receipt and record the next conversation. A consistent process prevents staff from chasing outdated figures.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/rentaldesk.co.ke\/blog\/part-paid-rent-follow-up-kitui\/#Confirm_the_balance_before_contacting_the_tenant\" >Confirm the balance before contacting the tenant<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/rentaldesk.co.ke\/blog\/part-paid-rent-follow-up-kitui\/#Record_an_owner_and_a_next_action\" >Record an owner and a next action<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/rentaldesk.co.ke\/blog\/part-paid-rent-follow-up-kitui\/#Close_the_loop_after_money_arrives\" >Close the loop after money arrives<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirm_the_balance_before_contacting_the_tenant\"><\/span>Confirm the balance before contacting the tenant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Check the opening balance, current charge, allocated payments and adjustments. Keep deposits separate from rent unless an authorised adjustment has been agreed. If a transaction is unmatched, investigate the reference before calling it unpaid. RentalDesk&#39;s public workflow centres on paid, part-paid and unpaid tenants; use those distinctions in the team&#39;s morning review.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Record_an_owner_and_a_next_action\"><\/span>Record an owner and a next action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Give each unresolved balance a staff owner, a follow-up date and a short factual note. A promise to pay is different from a received payment. Keep those statuses distinct so an optimistic conversation does not remove an account from review. If the tenant disputes a charge, route it for checking and retain the supporting record.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Close_the_loop_after_money_arrives\"><\/span>Close the loop after money arrives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Recheck the ledger before sending another reminder. Confirm how a new receipt updates the outstanding amount and which staff member resolves unmatched transactions. In a RentalDesk demonstration, use one fictional tenant with two instalments and a corrected reference. Ask to see the tenant view, follow-up list and owner report reflect the same balance before rolling the process out to more properties.<\/p>\n<p>Explore <a href=\"https:\/\/rentaldesk.co.ke\/\">RentalDesk<\/a> to discuss the requirements in this guide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Powered by Zama Systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part Paid Rent Follow Up Kitui: Confirm the balance before contacting the tenant.
