A refund of monies held can be carried out on any tenancy. It can either be a full refund of money, or part of the money held.
Depending on how you process your payments, the refund can be paid by direct transfer to the tenants bank account (Internet) or added to a BACS Payment File for uploading to the bank.
Note
This is only applicable if Monies Held is still on the Receipt screen for the tenancy and has not been used against a charge
