Engine 02 · For hostel and mess operators
Residents, rooms and monthly dues.
Residents, seats, rent, mess charges and deposits in one working picture, with a ledger for every resident.
Floor A this month: who is in each seat and what is still owed
Each occupied seat is billed its rent and mess for the month. What came in is set against it, and what is left is outstanding. An empty seat is billed nothing.

Rent is not a deposit
Different balances with different jobs, so each one is kept on its own.
- Rent and charges
- Monthly rent, mess and utility charges go to the resident's running account.
- Deposits held
- Money held as security stays visible on its own, through adjustments and checkout.
- Collections and dues
- What was received, what is still outstanding, and which month it belongs to.
