# Invoice for a stay

### Generate the rent invoices

For every booking, a rent invoice is generated in the “Finance” section.

The invoice sets out the details and the amounts entered in the booking form, including the description, the references, the amounts and the advance payments.

You can email the invoice to your tenants from the site, or download the PDF version and send it from your own mailbox.

### Record a payment

Once the rent has been generated in the “Finance” section, you can record one or more payments against it. Use the “Record a payment” option in the actions menu on the right.

For each payment you record, you can enter the following information:

- The **amount**,
- The **payer**,
- The **payment method**,
- The **date received**.

### Sending the invoice

#### Tenants invited to Rentila and logged in

Invited tenants who have access to Rentila are notified by email automatically as soon as their rent is generated in the “Finance” section. You can turn this on and off on the tenancy record. The email carries a direct link to download the document.

Once the payment is marked “Paid” in the “Finance” section, you can send the invoice by hand with the “Send the invoice” action on the right. The system resends the notification email with the direct download link.

### Customise the invoice

You can set your logo and add a signature from the “My account” section. If you keep several landlords under “Multiple owners”, the logo and the signature are set on each profile record.
