Inspect the accounting boundary
This example has no settled receipt, so it shows no posted settlement journal. In your workspace, inspect saved ledger entries and source evidence; review bank reconciliation separately.

Follow the payment. Keep the accounting evidence.
Keep the work moving with clear ownership, recorded progress and an explicit next action.
- 01
Review the requirement
Confirm the tenancy, deposit type, amount and resident allocations against the supported provincial policy checks before requesting payment.
- 02
Follow the recorded state
Keep authorization, processing, failed and settled states distinct. See what needs action without treating an instruction as proof of receipt.
- 03
Review cash and liabilities
Inspect double-entry ledger records, tenant deposit liabilities and source evidence. Review bank evidence and reconciliation separately.
- 04
Resolve the deposit
Connect move-out evidence, reviewed deductions, applicable interest and refund approvals to the deposit-return workflow.
What’s connected
The details that keep
the workflow together.
Separate trust records
Keep trust cash and tenant deposit liabilities distinct in accounting records. Review the legal entity, currency and supporting source for a posting.
Exact resident allocations
Review each resident’s rent and deposit share. Household totals and individual allocations must balance before a native lease plan can proceed.
Payment tracking and receipts
Follow recorded payment events and available receipt evidence. Provider availability, actual custody and settlement depend on the agreed implementation.
Ledger and reconciliation
Open journal entries, trial balances, bank evidence and reviewed matches. A balanced ledger alone does not prove a bank account is reconciled.
Exports and handoffs
Use ledger exports and configured signed outbound webhooks with your wider workflow. Direct PMS synchronization is not currently available.
Fit the way you work
Simple for one.
Connected for a team.
Start with essential information. Add shared ownership and review controls as your portfolio needs them.
For a solo landlord
Find the deposit’s actual status from the case or Money view. Open the next action and keep return evidence with the tenancy.
For a finance team
Review liability records and source links, resolve reconciliation differences and follow the existing approval controls before releasing funds.
A few useful
distinctions.
Understand the workflow before bringing your own records.
Talk through your setupIs authorization the same as receiving the deposit?
No. Authorization, processing and confirmed settlement are separate states. The demo makes those distinctions explicit.
Does Northstar automatically create a segregated trust bank account?
No such setup is implied by the software’s accounting records. Confirm the banking, custody and segregation arrangements for your implementation.
Can I keep my accounting or property tools?
Ledger exports and signed outbound webhooks support handoffs. Dedicated direct synchronization with the PMS brands shown on the homepage is not currently available.
