Lease contract
Hi, I'm struggling with "girar" in this sentence. It's a lease agreement for commercial premises. The sentence is:
Para el cobro de las rentas, la propiedad girará los oportunos recibos a la cuenta corriente XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, y en su defecto en el domicilio de la arrendadora o en el de su administrador
My attempt:
"For payment of the rent, the owner shall "charge" the timely receipts to the current account XXX, and failing that, at the address of the lessor or his property manager.
The second part of the sentence also seems strange...
Thanks!

: girar recibo = send the receipts/bills/etc. Notice the entire sentence and context: it talks about “account No. OR lessor's address.”

: Sorry, I just re-read the Spanish. I think it's oddly worded, the other way round...

pay the amounts due
Assuming 'propiedad' is incorrect and should be 'propietario' or 'arrendatario' this is the only reading that makes sense.
DRAE 2. tr. Enviar dinero por giro postal, telegráfico, etc.
Word ref: recibo (=factura) bill, account
recibo de la luz electricity bill

Yes, I think so - I can't see how you can read it any other way.

Note from asker:
| Great, so does the bank account number belong to the lessor/owner? Therefore, "rent shall be paid to the bank account XXX or at the address of the lessor...." |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |

: I think "La propiedad" is a metonymy. Rent to be paid via bank or to the owner or his/her minions.

1. Cuando se dice que una empresa gira o emite recibos, ¿lo que hace es es Norma 58: anticipo de créditos?
Si es así, entonces el cliente cuando se acerque el vencimiento recibirá una xerocopia, que le avisará del pago ¿es OK?
2. Girar recibos
Bueno depende, **para girar recibos** no hay que utilizar el cuaderno 58, este se utiliza para girar y anticipar recibos, lo ideal sería un cuaderno 19 **que tan sólo es gestión de cobro.

A "recibo" should be a "receipt" but it's actually a bill 99% of the time.
