When invoices are automatically generated, you can select whether to automatically email them out to tenants or not.
3. Rent Billing Basis is in Arrears
This option lets you specify whether rent and outgoings are invoiced at the beginning or end of the period and can be set at a company level which is then used as the default for all tenancies. You can override that setting at a tenancy level, which will be the default setting for all invoices generated from a template for that tenancy. You can also set this option at an invoice template level for all invoices generated from that specific template.
