I have a tenant where I receive a portion of their rent from government assistance (HUD). How is the best way to set this up as I get one check from the tenant and one from HUD, each month. Also, I am activating rent collection for this tenant, so I just want to make sure that the amount they personally owe comes out of their bank account, not the portion HUD pays.

You can designate income as “rent” or “section 8 rents”. I use the “rent” subcategory for any rent paid by the tenant, and “section 8 rent” as payments made by HUD.

I just started using Stessa and added a similar lease. The lease only lets me put the amount the tenant is responsible for. The ability to split out the amount paid by the resident and the amount paid by the housing authority what needs to be allowed to set it up correctly.
