Apt Yönet Guide for Managers

With Apt Yönet you set up your apartment building or residential complex from scratch, track dues, manage collections and expenses, and communicate with your residents. This guide explains, step by step, how to set up your site as a first-time manager and how to run the day-to-day operations.

Apt Yönet guides the setup with a sequential wizard. It does not allow you to skip steps; this way you complete a full setup without missing any important settings.
1

1. Register

You fill in the registration form with "Start Free": account type (individual manager / company), residential complex or apartment building name, manager name, mobile phone (05XX XXX XX XX) and email, and a password of at least 8 characters. Once you complete your registration, a verification code is sent to your phone and email.

2

2. Verify Your Account

You enter the 6-digit code sent to your phone/email. Once verification is complete, your account and residential complex are created, you are automatically logged in and directed to the setup wizard.

3

3. Define Blocks and Units

This is the step where you build the skeleton of your site. You enter the blocks of your building and the number of units in each block: if you are a single-block apartment building, the block is automatically set as "A"; you only enter the number of units. If you are a multi-block residential complex, you add the name and unit count for each block. You see a live summary on screen: how many blocks and total units (up to 20 blocks and 1500 units total). When you click "Save", the system automatically creates all units and takes you to the resident-adding step.

Units are numbered starting from 1 in each block. This structure can be edited after setup from Management > Units, but entering it correctly during initial setup will make your work easier.
4

4. Add Residents (Owner / Tenant)

You assign residents to your units. There are three ways:

1

Manual (block-based): You select a block, and enter the owner (mandatory) and tenant information (name, phone, email) if any, next to each unit.

2

Bulk with Excel: You download the ready Excel template, fill it in, and upload it back. The system first shows the upload as a preview; when you confirm, it transfers in bulk. The fastest way for large residential complexes.

3

Add later: You can postpone this step and move on to the dashboard, and later add residents one by one from the Accounts menu.

You must add residents before accruing dues — since debts are assigned to residents, the accrual remains empty if there are no residents. If you postpone this step, be sure to complete it before creating dues.
5

5. Configure Site Settings

You enter the basic settings so that dues and reports work correctly (Settings section, tabbed):

  • Financial period (start and end date)
  • Currency (TRY, EUR, USD, etc.)
  • Will late-payment interest be applied? If so, the interest rate and type
  • Optional: address, contact, tax information
Important: Set the period, currency, and interest correctly BEFORE the dues accrual. Changing them later does not affect past records; only new debts are created with the new settings. That is why it is important to enter them correctly from the start.
6

6. Define Cash Box / Bank Account

At least one cash box is required for collecting payments and recording expenses. You define a cash box or bank account:

  • Type (Cash / Bank)
  • Cash box name
  • Currency (must match your residential complex)
  • Opening balance
  • For bank: account name, IBAN
The cash box currency must match the currency of your residential complex; otherwise the collection is rejected. Since at least one cash box is required for collections and expenses, we recommend doing this step before dues accrual.
7

7. Dues Accrual (Debt Creation)

You create dues / common expense debts for residents here (Bulk Debt Creation):

  • Description and category (select existing or create new)
  • Amount
  • To whom: All residents / only owners / only tenants (filter by block or group if needed)
  • Calculation: Same amount to each account, or divide the total by the number of residents?
  • Accrual date and due date (fixed date, "issue + N days", or "end of month")
  • Repetition: One-time or monthly automatic repetition (up to 24 months)?
Before saving, you can see how many residents will receive what amount using \"Preview\" — this allows you to accrue without mistakes. If you select monthly repetition, the system automatically opens the next month's debt at the beginning of each month; you do not have to enter it manually every month.
8

8. Collect Payment

When residents make payments, you record the collection from the resident's account detail. There are four methods:

  • Advance: Money paid in advance when there is no debt (automatically offset when a debt is opened)
  • Debt-specific collection: Payment against a specific debt
  • FIFO (automatic distribution): Distributes a single amount to debts starting from the oldest due date — first late-payment interest, then principal
  • Selective: A single amount to the debts you mark

You select the cash box, amount, date, and payment method (Cash / Wire transfer-EFT). You can view the receipt after collection.

9

9. Record Expense

You record the residential complex's expenses (fuel, maintenance, invoices, staff, etc.): category, amount, date, cash box, and description. When you save, the relevant cash box balance decreases automatically — so your cash box always reflects the real situation.

10

10. Inform Residents

After completing the setup, inform your residents:

  • Announcement: You publish announcements that appear in the panel and are seen by residents (dues, meeting, maintenance).
  • Bulk SMS / Email: You select a template, choose the target audience, and send bulk notifications.

Your residential complex is now up and running — residents see their debts from their own panels, read announcements, and communicate with you.

Post-Setup: Daily and Monthly Routine

The core tasks you'll do regularly once setup is complete.

Every month

Dues accrual is opened automatically (if you chose monthly repetition); you perform bulk debt creation if additional accrual is needed.

Regular

You process incoming collections and record expenses.

As needed

You send announcements and bulk notifications.

1–2 times a month

You review the reports: Balance Sheet, Business Book, Trial Balance, Account Statement, Cash Box–Bank Statement.

End of period

Decision book entries, trial balance approval.

Continuous

Fixed assets, vehicles, maintenance, surveys, phone directory, meter updates, and responses to resident support tickets.

Critical Points During Setup

Six golden rules that shouldn't be skipped.

🧭
Order is enforced: The system enforces mandatory steps in order. Some modules do not work until the setup wizard is complete — this is to prevent an incomplete setup.
💾
Atomic setup: The records in the wizard are made as a single operation; if an error occurs, nothing is left half-done, and you try again from the beginning.
⏸️
You can postpone: You can postpone adding residents, but be sure to complete it before dues accrual.
⚙️
Set the settings early: Period, currency, and interest should be correct before accrual. Changing them later does not affect the past.
💰
Cash box is required: At least one cash box is required for collections and expenses.
🔁
Monthly repetition: If you create dues with monthly repetition, the system automatically opens each month; you do not have to do it manually.
