Understanding Rent Amounts and Charges in Rent Manager Integration

When working with Rent Manager through the Propexo API, there are some important considerations regarding how rent amounts and charges are handled.

Lease Rent Amounts

Currently, the rent_amount_in_cents field is not directly populated for RentManager leases, as this information is not directly exposed by the RentManager API. You can verify the availability of fields in the Propexo API documentation:

Working with Resident Charges

In Rent Manager, charges are associated with residents. Propexo will look at the charge's associated unit ID and resident ID to link this charge to the lease associated with the provided unit and resident. You can use this connection to find the base rent amount charge associated with a particular lease

Identifying Rent Charges

There is no automated way to definitively identify which charges represent base monthly rent because:

• Properties can configure multiple custom charge types as rent charges

• Both default and custom rent charge types may exist simultaneously

Best Practices

To work with rent amounts in Rent Manager, we recommend:

1. Reach out to your customer to determine the charge code they use for base monthly rent amount

2. Implement your own business logic to identify and classify charges

3. Use these charges and their associated charge code to determine the base monthly rent amount for a lease

The Propexo API aims to be a reliable data pipeline, focusing on delivering accurate data without introducing interpretation of business rules. This allows you to implement your own business logic according to your specific needs.
