Cambridge Virtual Meeting Tues Apr 21: Rent Collection Software

[Jillian Campayno]

It's true that when you knock on a resident's door to collect rent, you can connect on a personal level and learn what's new and in need of attention. But in the new world of social distancing, collecting rent in-person is either prohibited or risky. Not to mention the fact that few renters have the work-from-home-stability that would be needed to pay rent in full and on-time. Partial payments may become the new normal. Even before this, collecting rent in person has always been time consuming and slow, especially when renters are short. There is a better way.

In this presentation, we'll review the market context in which rent collection happens. We'll talk about the rise of partial payments and payments tied to income, including relief checks. We'll then discuss the fundamentals of moving money over networks, including credit cards and ACH. Finally we'll review some software offerings available today including QuickBooks, PayPal, Venmo, Cozy, zRent, and RentHelper. Each has pros and cons. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how money moves in the US and where to learn more about various methods for collection at a distance.

This part of the presentation will be given by MassLandlords staff.
