Refund of Rent Deposits

#1

Post by jarednchrissy2 »

I am not sure we were supposed to pay a deposit for a member's apartment rent, but we did.

1) Is that allowed
2) What do we do when the deposit is refunded (in full or part)?

Your bishop determines how Fast Offering funds are used, in keeping with Church policy. If he feels the need for guidance, his stake president will help him.

If any Fast Offering funds are returned, I would deposit them back into the Fast Offering Fund.

Agreed - but what donor name should be used?

I would look through the financial instructions for something similar to Return of Fast Offering Funds.

When I encountered a similar issue recently, I used "Anonymous" as the donor name.
