Ledger
Know exactly why a balance exists.
Know what is owed, what was paid, and what still remains. EstateIQ calculates balances from charges, payments, and allocations instead of relying on loose paid or unpaid flags.
Every balance should have a source
Ledger model
Balances come from recorded activity.
Every balance is the result of charges, payments, and how those payments were allocated — not a flag that gets toggled.
From charge to balance — every step is recorded.
From the first charge through to a calculated balance — every step is recorded and traceable.
Charge
What is owed under a lease.
Payment
Money received and recorded.
Allocation
How the payment is applied to charges.
Derived balance
Calculated from charges minus allocations.
Why it matters
Clear records matter most when payments get messy.
Small landlords often need more than a checkbox. The ledger model handles the situations that make simple balances break down.
Partial payments
See exactly how much was received and which charges still carry a remaining balance.
Overdue balances
Trace any open balance back to the exact charges and allocations that created it.
Tenant history
The financial story attached to a lease is preserved over time — not reset on each payment.
Cleaner reporting
Well-structured ledger entries make year-end reporting and expense tracking more reliable.
Auditability
Every balance is explainable when questions come up — no manual tallies to reconstruct.
Delinquency support
Delinquency reporting comes from ledger records, not manual notes or toggled flags.
