▶ Admin > Settings
In the Rental contract, you can add different types of Rent and Fees.
Moderan comes with several default Rent and Fees types (Rent, Maintenance, Marketing, Parking), but Admin users may add more types — for example, Discount, Fixed utilities, Address.
In Admin > Settings you can see the billing categories which are currently set to be used in your Moderan account.
Add a new Rent / Fee type
- Go to Admin > Settings.
- Click the EDIT button (top right-hand corner).
- Go to the Customising contract fields block.
- In the Field name* box, select Billing name from the drop-down.
- In the Custom options* field, enter the name for your new billing category.
- Click Add, then click Save in the top right-hand corner.
Now this billing name can be used when adding fees to the Rental Contract's Rent and Fees section.
Enable Rent types
When you add Custom Fee types, they are displayed and calculated as separate Fee types in Rental Contracts, Reports and Invoices.
If you want them to be displayed and calculated as sub-types of Rent, you can mark them as Rent types.
- Go to Admin > Settings.
- Click the EDIT button.
- Go to Rent types and choose the Billing names from the drop-down that you want to use as types of Rent.
- Click Save in the top right-hand corner.
Now you see the added billing categories in the list of enabled Rent types. A "Rent - " prefix is added to their name so you can recognise these types as sub-types of Rent when using them in Rental contracts and Reports.
Sub-types of Rent are calculated as part of Monthly rent in Property totals and Reports.
Editing and deleting custom Rent / Fee types
Default Rent and Fees types cannot be edited or deleted. If they do not fit into the categories you want to use, just ignore them.
You can Delete a custom fee type by clicking the X sign next to its name, but only if you have not used it anywhere.
A custom Rent / Fee can be deleted only if it is not in use anywhere!
If you want to Edit a custom Rent / Fee type's name, please state the details (old name, new name and confirmation) in the online support chat or email us at support@moderansolutions.com.
Errors: Invisible custom Rent / Fee type
Did you add a custom Rent or Fee type, but you cannot see it?
If you cannot see a new type you have entered, please check the following:
- Make sure you have clicked the Save button in the top-right corner upon adding the new type.
- If you can see the new fee type in the Admin section but cannot choose it in the Rental Contract's Billing types grid, press F5 or refresh the web page.
