Created by Paul Hoffman, Modified on Sat, Mar 2, 2024 at 6:19 PM by Paul Hoffman

  • Open Aged Receivable Report (not the Summary version)
  • Locate the apartment that has the issue.
  • Determine which month(s) is the issue and what caused the issue (Charge or Payment).
    1. Verify the Transaction Category is correct.
    2. Verify that the Housing Portion (Charge) and Payment by Government Subsidy (Payment) match.
      • NOTE: Housing Portion may include the following transaction categories: (Housing Portion, Housing Utilities, Building Facilities Fee).
    3. Verify that the Application of Charges to the Payment is correct.  
      • When reviewing the Payment (Payment & Payment by Government Subsidy) allocation details for each type – please ensure you keep the following in mind:
        • Payment – Can include any transaction except for: Housing Portion & Housing Utilities.
        • Payment by Government Subsidy – can only include the following transactions: Housing Portion, Housing Utilities, Building Facilities Fee.
          1. There should be no other transaction category listed.
          2. NOTE: HAP will not pay or less than the HAP Agreement.  An exception would for move-ins, move-outs and potentially abatement due to annual inspection.
  • Click on the date of the transaction to go to the Residents Account.
