In June we posted an update that you can print invoices and receipts. Since then we’ve received some feedback that it would be great to customize some aspects of the invoice. The message printed at the bottom in particular.
We’ve added new functionality within the Settings menus to let Rentec users edit the message. Simply visit the Settings tab, click on the new Accounting Defaults option, and edit the option you see in the screenshot below. By default it will say ‘Thank You’; however, you can add any text you like to print on all invoices up to 200 characters.
Of note, to keep the interface clean, we’ve split up the Default Settings pages into two unique categories. When you click on the Settings tab you will now see a new option called Accounting Defaults. All program defaults that had to do with accounting functions have been moved into their own section.

We’re pleased to announce improvements to the application settings. Various features can be toggled on and off, and also now the Summary screen is completely customizable.
Click the screenshot to the right for a full view. Here’s the guts of it.
- Specify which property your summary graphs apply to, or leave it as a default of all properties.
- How many months do you want summarized. I track my properties in 12 month intervals and want to know if their rolling averages for 12 months are more green or more red. For property owners who track shorter periods this can be cranked down to 3 or 6 months, or go up as high as infinity.
- By default we show you important notices related to your tenants and properties. Is one of them getting a bit annoying or redundant? Do you always have units vacant, or tenants behind and do not want those notices showing up. They can be toggled here.
- Accounting formatting for balances can be toggled to remain black or highlight red. Additionally, show negative numbers as -x.xx or switch to (x.xx).
- Set defaults for your properties. These default will be in effect for all new placements. They can still be modified during the individual placements as well.
- The properties tab shows a running balance of the properties income. It can be more useful to know the balance of the property account over the last 12 months or 6 months rather than a grand total. If a grand total is desired, just put in 999.
