Setting Deposit Interest at the Property Level

You can configure interest settings on Refundable Deposits directly at the Property Level. This allows the system to automatically prefill interest details whenever a Lease is created for that property.

Where to Set It

Navigate to the Deposit tab on the Property screen.
You’ll see a new Interest Setup icon enabled next to any Refundable deposit type.

Why Set Interest at the Property Level?

When a refundable deposit is configured with interest at the Property level, any new Lease created under that Property will automatically inherit the interest setup. This means you won’t have to re-enter the same details for each lease.

The Interest setup is not mandatory.
