Argus &amp; Base Year Reimbursements
I am an experienced Argus user and have always had an issue (previously with DCF and now with Enterprise) with the way

Argus models base year reimbursements. I have never seen discussion of this issue so I am wondering if there is a obvious workaround I am missing.

The issue:

Typically, in a new FS Base Year lease, the tenant does not start paying reimbursements until the start of lease year 2 (month 13) of their lease. However, no matter what I do, Argus defaults to having the tenant start paying at the start of the next calendar year. This means that if a tenant's lease starts 12/1/18, and thus should not start paying until 12/1/19, Argus will model them to start making monthly payments on 1/1/19. Note, I am not talking about a calendar vs fiscal year inflation issue here, I am strictly talking about the date when the tenant starts paying.
