How to track post-dated cheques (PDCs) for rent
To track post-dated cheques for rent, record each cheque's number, bank and due date against the tenancy, then review upcoming cheques weekly so you bank each one on time. RentLedger automates this: it creates each PDC on the rent schedule and flags cheques due within the next seven days.
What information to record for each cheque
For every post-dated cheque, capture the cheque number, the issuing bank, the amount, and the date it can be banked. Tie it to the tenant and unit so you can see the full picture per property.
Review upcoming cheques weekly
The main risk with PDCs is missing a deposit date or presenting a cheque with insufficient funds. A weekly review of cheques due in the next 7–14 days keeps you ahead of both.
