It's the first of the month and rent is due. For tenants, remembering to pay on time while ensuring they have sufficient funds to cover their obligations can make the process stressful. Similarly, landlords can find themselves up at night worrying about missing payments and, in extreme cases, dealing with fraudulent payments.

But paying and collecting rent doesn't have to be nightmare-inducing; in fact, the right platform can make rent payment simple, convenient, and secure for every party involved.

Whether you’re a tenant paying rent or a landlord collecting it, RentSpree Rent Payment can help streamline the process and ensure rent is paid and collected on time, every time. 

Benefits for Renters

As a renter, you’ll want to use a platform to pay your rent that meets all your expectations. Look for a solution that’s secure, fast, and automated so you can set it and forget it. Here’s a look at why RentSpree Rent Payment is a great option. 

Simplicity and convenience

Gone are the days of dealing with the hassle of mailing in a physical check or worrying about it getting lost in transit. Now, renters can make their rent payments right from the comfort of their own homes with just a few clicks. Rent Payment provides a seamless and secure platform to ensure that rent is paid promptly and efficiently. 

What's more, Rent Payment offers the option to set up automatic payments, sparing renters the need to manually process transactions every month. Renters can rest assured that their rent is consistently paid on time, eliminating the risk of paying late or missing rent entirely. Rent Payment not only modernizes the rent collection process but also improves the payment experience, making it more convenient and hassle-free for tenants.

Flexibility

RentSpree Rent Payment feature offers flexibility for renters by providing multiple payment options to fit their financial circumstance. 

For tenants who prefer electronic transfers, they can move funds directly from their bank accounts to the landlord's account via ACH transfer. Rent Payment also accepts debit and credit card payments, catering to tenants who prefer using their cards for transactions. This can be especially beneficial for those who may not have immediate access to their bank account but have the means to make a payment through a card. Additionally, some renters prefer to pay with a credit card because they can earn cashback and other rewards points. 

Whether they choose to pay via ACH transfers or debit/credit card, renters have the convenience of choosing the method that works best for them.

Credit Builder

Thanks to RentSpree’s newest feature, Credit Builder, renters can strengthen their credit scores every time they pay their rent. When renters opt-in to using Credit Builder, they can have their on-time rent payments automatically reported to one of the three major credit bureaus. This means that every time they consistently make their rent payment, it contributes positively to their credit history. 

Consistently demonstrating responsible financial behavior through timely rent payments has far-reaching benefits. With a strong credit score, tenants open up more financial opportunities such as easier access to loans, better interest rates, and improved eligibility for various financial products. 

Benefits for Landlords

If you’re a landlord struggling to collect rent or having issues getting paid on time, partnering with RentSpree can help you maintain a steady income and keep your rental operations running smoothly. 

Digital payment collection

Ready to say goodbye to delayed payments? Tired of collecting rent checks from the mailbox? With Rent Payment, landlords can be confident they’ll receive their rent every month on time. Landlords can easily set recurring reminders to ensure tenants never miss a payment. This not only ensures a smooth and consistent flow of income, but also liberates landlords from the administrative hassle of chasing down payments. 

Faster payout times

When landlords use Rent Payment, funds hit their bank account quickly. ACH transfers take 3-4 business days while credit card payments only take 2-3 business days. For an even faster turnaround time, RentSpree provides the option to expedite payouts for a nominal one-time fee of $50.
