Rent Payment Software

Believe it or not, there are still a large number of landlords who collect rent manually each month.

Whether checks or cash payments, it’s part of an old-fashioned practice that actually can hold a landlord, HOA, or property management business business back.

Studies show all types of renters want to pay rent online. Convenience is a big part of the value today’s renters seek from their landlords or the property management company that serves them.

While there are apps for collecting rent, it’s not really solving the layers of complexity you need to get rid of.  A better approach is a rent payment solution built into your property management software. In fact, this may be the most important feature to evaluate in a property management platform.

Lowering Cost, Work Time, and Collections Work

Aside from keeping it simple and streamlined, an automated rent payment system lowers payment processing time by 90%. If you have a large number of tenants/properties and you intend to grow in 2024, the time savings from automated payments could be substantial.  And it can enable on-time payments and avoid late rent payments by making it so quick and easy to pay rent.

Let’s look at all the benefits for you and your tenants.
