Generating rent schedules
Charges are created from active leases on their own — a rolling 12-month window.
3 min readBeginnerUpdated Oct 12, 2026
A charge is a specific receivable for a period (e.g. August rent), created from an active lease. In Najato you don't run this by hand — charges are created automatically.
Finance & payments › Rental income › ⚙ Payment settings › Schedules
How it works
Charges are created 12 months ahead when the lease is set up (or until the end date for fixed-term leases). Every night Najato then extends the schedule of each active lease so the next 12 months stay covered — you don't need to do anything, and charges never run out, even on an open-ended lease.
1
Open Payment settings
The “Payment settings” gear on the Rental income tab (right of the green “Receive payment”).
2
Schedules tab
A note at the top explains charges generate automatically; below it a read-only “Due dates from leases” table shows the due day, payment type and frequency derived from each lease.
3
Generate now (optional)
The button tops up missing charges instantly, including a gap in the middle of the schedule (the nightly extension only continues from the last charge).
Good to know
The top-up is idempotent and lightweight — it only continues from the last existing charge and never overwrites a charge that's already Paid or Partial.
Heads up
Generation respects the payment type (in advance / current / in arrears) and shifts the due month accordingly. Payment frequency from the lease is only displayed so far: charges are always created monthly, so check other setups manually.
