Collecting Rent through ePayments (Yes or No?)

Chris Walters

Hi everyone,

What is your opinion about collecting rent through electronic payments? Specifically online debit or credit card payments. 

Any good or bad stories? Any methods of preventing a tenant who uses a frauded card on the last month of the lease before moving out?

Mailed or picked up cheques seem to still be the most common method, but I am wondering if anyone has or is considering online payments.

I know there is often a fee attached to the epayments, which might discourage your tenants...

    C. Timothy Murphy III I use erentpayment and theee is an option you are able to select when setting up the property that allows you to not accept partial payments.
