Path: Organization > Buildings > Lease Management / Identity Tab
For tenant lease records, mark the Payable radio button on the Lease Management window and record information about your lease. This assures you have details about the lease at your fingertips and allows you to record and track lease payments, due date, amendments, and other information about the lease.

These invoices can also include additional billing from work performed by the landlord and charged to the tenant if recorded on the Responsibilities Subtab and assigned to a WebTMA work order.

Complete as many of the fields as needed for your records.
Lease Schedules Tab
Path: Organization > Buildings > Lease Management / Schedules Tab
The Schedules Tab only applies to Receivable leases. It is similar to a PM Schedule, but instead of generating work orders, it generates invoices. IMPORTANT: Be certain you have completed the Lease Start and Rent Due Date fields on the Lease Management / Identity Tab–Lease Dates Subtab. Unless completed, Current Status lines cannot be saved to the Schedules Tab.
Enter annual values in the Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Execution Cost, Other Payments, Real Property Tax, and Other Tax. WebTMA then looks to the Payment Frequency for invoicing. For example, if the Base Rent equals $12,000 and the Payment Frequency is Monthly, each invoice is calculated as 12000/12=1000 plus or minus additional values entered in the Calculations sections.
The Start Date, Next Date, and End Date are similar to PM dates. The Other Payments field creates a deduction and reduces the Lease Amount.
To add a Lease Schedule for a Receivable lease:
- Click Edit on the WebTMA toolbar.
- Click the Add Line link at the top of the grid.
- Complete the required fields.
- Add any elective field information as needed. Note the Other Payments field in Rent Calculations acts as a credit and reduces the Lease Amount.

- Click Save on the WebTMA toolbar.
Stakeholders Tab
Path: Organization > Buildings > Lease Management / Stakeholders Tab
Add the names and contact information for anyone with an involvement in the Lease.
Income Distribution Tab
Path: Organization > Buildings > Lease Management / Income Distribution Tab
The Income Distribution Tab displays a list of accounts associated with the Lease and amounts and percentages of the fund distributions to each account.
When in Edit mode, you can edit the Sequence, percentage of Distribution, and actual Amount of funds.
The percentage (Distribution column) of all lines must total 100%. If you attempt to save the record with a total less than or greater than 100%, a message pops up stating: "Account distribution percentages are out-of-balance. Would you like to distribute them evenly?"
Click OK to have WebTMA change the Distribution percentages and make all equal.
Click Cancel to make your own adjustments to the distributions.
Regardless of the method, the Distribution must equal 100% before the record can be saved.
You can Edit, Delete, or Add lines; however, the Distribution total must equal 100% before you can save.
The distribution amounts are used on the Accounting > Accounts Receivable Invoice > Lease Invoice Payment window as the Distribute Payment Due values.
