Applying payment to oldest charges first is the right idea (though if they write "rent" in a memo field you ARE meant to allocate it as instructed) If you can remove yourself from the equation and just have them deal directly with an approved vendor that's ideal.

My biggest challenge is going to be balancing this with life as a dad/sales rep/writer ect..
