Landlords and letting agents spend a lot of time matching payments, chasing late rent and paying out to owners. A platform that makes rent easy to pay, easy to track and quick to pass on can win customers, especially if you already work in property, such as a letting agency or a landlord network.

Common problems

  • Tenants paying late or the wrong amount.
  • Hours spent matching bank transfers to tenants.
  • Deposits, fees and owner payouts tracked in spreadsheets.
  • Overseas landlords who want their income in another currency.

Features that help

  • A regular payment link or subscription for each tenancy.
  • Automatic reminders before and after rent is due.
  • A clear record of who has paid and what is outstanding.
  • Accounts that hold GBP, EUR and USD for landlords abroad.

Check the rules

In England, tenancy deposits for assured shorthold tenancies must be protected in a government-approved scheme, and letting agents handling client money must belong to a client money protection scheme. Check the rules where you operate before handling rent for others.
