Who is this guide for?
For a building or office manager who collects rent from the tenant and delivers part of it to the apartment owner.
How is the owner’s share calculated?
You write in the lease contract the amount of the owner’s share of the rent, and the rest remains in the fund as office fees. Example: Rent 3000, owner’s share 2750 → 250 for the office. If an expense is spent on the apartment from the owner's share (such as plumbing 200), it is deducted from his share, so he gets 2550, while the expense of the total rent is borne by the office.
Before you begin
