Check-out

Check a guest out - inspection, keys returned or lost, meter readings, outstanding charges and the deposit decision.

What this page is for

Close the stay at the desk: inspect the unit, take the keys back, read the meters for long stays, settle what is still owed and decide on the deposit.

Who can use it

Check guests out is needed. The deposit card needs the deposit permissions.

How to check a guest out

  1. If Outstanding charges shows, record the payment on the booking first.
  2. Tick the inspection items, and the keys returned (tick Lost for missing ones).
  3. For long stays, enter the meter readings.
  4. On the right, refund or deduct the deposit.
  5. Select Check out now.
