Custom Expense Type

In addition to base rent expenses tenants can have additional rent expenses, Occupier enables Users to add custom expense types.

What is an Expense Type?

An Expense Type is a categorizing feature to organize and track your additional costs within Occupier. Custom expense types allow Occupier users to be very specific about what your additional rent expenses are. This enables you to look at the breakdown of different expense types when viewing your rent schedule in Occupier, so you know exactly how much you are spending and what expense you are paying for. 

Example: If you have a deferred rent payback schedule, you could add “Deferred Rent Payback” as a custom additional expense type.
