# Adding charges to a deposit

> Learn how to add charges to a deposit.

While a deposit is active, you can add charges to deduct funds from it. Once you have finalised all the charges, you can return the deposit to the tenant. Each charge has a type:

* **Arrears**
* **Charge**
* **Dilapidation**
* **Other**

Charges appear in the **Charges** table on the deposit record. For each charge, the table shows the **Amount**, **Status**, **Type**, **Description**, and **Destination**. The destination is the [owner](/leasing/deposits/deposit-routing) the charged funds are allocated to when the deposit is returned. In the details section of the record, you can see the total deposit, the charges, and the net value of the deposit that is returnable to the tenant.

## Managing charges

From the **Charges** table, open the overflow menu (•••) on a charge to:

* **Edit** the charge's description.
* **Cancel** the charge. A cancelled charge no longer reduces the returnable deposit.
