Billing

Set rules once. Bill forever.

Define a recurring invoice rule once and Bedspace Manager generates the invoice automatically every billing cycle — in arrears, for the current month, or in advance. Works with both Calendar and Custom billing.

Three Timing Options

Bill in arrears, current, or advance

Different businesses collect rent differently. Whether you bill after, during, or before the period — Bedspace Manager has a timing option that matches your model exactly.

Arrears

Generated for last month

The invoice is created for the previous billing period. Use this when you bill after the service has been delivered — e.g., utility charges calculated at month-end.

Example

On March 1, a recurring rule set to Arrears generates an invoice for February's billing period.

Common use cases

  • Utility charges calculated after the month ends
  • Maintenance retainers billed retrospectively
  • Any cost that can only be known after the period

Current Month

Generated for the current month

The invoice is created at the start of the billing period, for that same period. Standard for regular rent invoices that align to the current month.

Example

On March 1, a Current Month recurring rule generates an invoice for March's billing period.

Common use cases

  • Standard monthly rent invoices
  • Fixed monthly management fees
  • Regular income charged for the current period

Advance

Generated for next month

The invoice is created for the upcoming billing period. Useful when you collect rent in advance — tenants pay for next month at the start of this month.

Example

On March 1, an Advance recurring rule generates an invoice for April's billing period.

Common use cases

  • Advance rent collection (pay next month now)
  • Prepaid service fees for the coming period
  • Deposits or bookings billed before the period starts

Works with Calendar and Custom billing

Recurring rules respect the billing model of each lease. A Calendar lease gets invoices aligned to calendar months. A Custom lease gets invoices aligned to its 30-day rolling cycles. Set the rule once — the system figures out the timing.

Automate your monthly billing — completely

Set recurring rules for rent, utilities, and fixed fees — then never think about invoicing again.
