"The check is in the mail." If you are still hearing this, it's time to upgrade.
Benefits of Online Payments
- Consistency: Tenants can set up "Auto-Pay," so rent is deducted automatically. This drastically reduces late payments.
- Speed: Money is deposited directly into your bank account. No waiting for the mail or driving to the bank.
- Security: No risk of checks being lost or stolen.
- Enforcement: You can block partial payments automatically (important during eviction proceedings).
How to Do It
Use property management software like PropsManager.
- Tenants pay via ACH (Bank Transfer) or Credit/Debit Card.
- You get a dashboard showing who paid and who owes.
- Late fees can be applied automatically.
Conclusion
Tenants pay for Netflix and Uber digitally. They expect to pay rent digitally too.
