Generic tools treat rent as one number. Voucher housing has two — the tenant's portion and the housing authority's — and one lump HAP check a month to reconcile across every unit. Doorpost was built by a Section 8 landlord to handle exactly that.
Each lease stores the total rent, the tenant's portion, and the subsidy portion — so the rent roll, ledgers, collections, and the tenant portal all show the right number to the right person.
The housing authority pays one lump check for all your vouchers. Post it to every subsidized tenant at once — with the date and check number — instead of unit by unit.
When the deposit doesn't match the expected voucher total, Doorpost flags exactly how far off it is, so recertification changes and abatements never slip through unnoticed.
Automatic late fees consider only the tenant-paid portion. A pending voucher never generates a fee against your resident.
Cash-basis income tracking, expense categories mapped to Schedule E lines, depreciation and cost-seg support, 1099 tracking — the accounting side is built in, not bolted on.
Import your rent roll and transactions from Buildium, AppFolio, QuickBooks, Wave, or any CSV. Columns auto-map, subsidy splits included.
The housing authority sends one lump deposit covering every voucher. Doorpost knows each lease's subsidy portion, so one click posts the whole batch to every subsidized tenant's ledger — and flags the variance if the check is short or over.
Yes — RD subsidy works the same way as Section 8 HAP in Doorpost: per-lease voucher splits, batch posting, and reconciliation against the actual deposit.
Yes. The tenant portal shows each resident only their own portion — a fully subsidized tenant sees $0 due, not the voucher amount pending from the housing authority — and they can pay their own portion online by ACH or card.
No. Doorpost's automatic late fees only consider the tenant's own portion, so a slow housing-authority payment never triggers a fee against your resident.
