Set Up Tenants for Mobile Home Park in QuickBooks

September 30, 2023

If you own or manage a mobile home park, you’ll want to pay attention to this Q&A.

Q: I own a mobile home park. Some units in the park are owned by tenant and they only pay lot rent and some rent the mobile home itself from me with lot rent and home rent combined. What would be the best way to set up my customer list?

A: Set up the customer list as follows:

Units as Customers
Tenants as Jobs

Create invoices for all the tenants using a Rent Service Item, which will link to Rent Income Account.
