This concerns a section headed "AVOIR PARTIEL", i.e. issuing a credit note on one particular service
Délié la prestation à avoiriser du loyer
Permet de faire l'avoir sur une prestation bien précise à la date souhaité
I decode the first line as "Separate out the service on which a rental credit note is to be issued" but elegant versions will be welcome.

Individual /item-by-item
Your understanding of the meaning is correct, but this is the way I'd put it.
Individual (or item-by item) treatment of the services for which a credit will be issued.

unless some punctuation marks are missing "délier" would make more sense.
Délier la prestation à avoiriser du loyer
break the link between the credit note and [the payment] of rent
IOW after "unlinking" the credit note can not be used for partial payment of rent.

Discussion
Just to say that not only is a document of this type awkward to translate as in a sort of prose/note form hybrid, there is jargon specific to the nature of the business and all the usual subjective in-house terminology, the whole is expressed in rotten French, becoming all too common. I sympathise.
