How do I respond to a tenant’s proposal?
When you receive a proposed settlement from your tenant, click Respond Now at the top of the Reposit page to review the proposal.
If your tenant proposes a settlement and you are satisfied with the amount, you can quickly resolve the claim by accepting their offer. You should do this by selecting “Collect”. This action will issue the agreed payment.
If the proposal is unsatisfactory, you have the option to reject it. Below the proposal details, you will see the tenant’s response to the charges along with any supporting evidence. By selecting Reject, you can respond to each item individually, accepting proposals you find fair and challenging those you disagree with.
