Description of program

Rent Bills is a web application to help homeowners monitor rent payments made by tenants.

Homeowners can create a location to represent houses/apartment/condominiums they own. A location could have several units. They can assign a tenant to each unit, based on a contract. A contract lasts for a time period and indicates the monthly rent that tenants need to pay. Homeowners will be able to see the accumulated rent owed/paid by a tenant.

Homeowners can employ keepers to collect payments made by tenants. Keepers will then input how much money they collected when onto the database. Keepers gain access information to a location by sending requests to owners.
