Resident Statement
A resident statement is a great way to inform your residents of all their monthly obligations to the community. It will help with collections, taking the guess work out of how much they owe monthly. Each month residents have questions such as
- How much is my rent?
- What do I owe for utility expenses?
- How much is my Parking and other fees?
- When is my bill due and who do I pay?
