Okay after doing some research can someone please explain to me why eRent is at fault here?  I believe some of the really negative posts should be removed by the moderator. From my research they use a company eCheckit to processed the ACH payments. That company from what I read went bankrupt.

eRent had nothing to do with eCheckit going bankruptand  since then they have changed banks. I believe the only payments that were affected were those made from 10/3 to 10/16 of this year.

Hi,

I just thought I would post on here to see if anyone is using some kind of online property management software, and what their thoughts are about it?

I have one rental property, and am going to be accumulating more this year in which I want to get a good system in place. For my first property, I set up a Cozy account. I mostly liked it, until I collected my first rental payment, and realized that it was going to take 5 days before it will post to my account (even if I paid for the express payout service, it would still take 3 days to post!). The reason I don't like this, is that if a payment does not go through because of insufficient funds, I won't know until day 5; So I will be 5 days behind at giving my late notice, and if they submit another payment, I won't know for another 5 days. 

Does anyone have any other software they like, that perhaps may have a solution to this problem? I have been interested in Appfolio also, so if anyone has used any services like this, I would be interested to hear some thoughts on them! 

Thanks for the input!

hi,

I have a tenant who is constantly late and we are having to threaten eviction and then he borrows from his mom and pays (last 3 times).  Well, now it has come to a head and he is late on November rent and has $800 out of $1350 (late fees now are close to $1500).  I know to not accept partial payment, but I have a general question:

Im in the state of Florida. Their lease expires at the end of Jan 2018.  

If I take partial payment for the next few months (my logic being if I take 3 months of partial payment,it might be better than going through 3 month eviction process and getting no money and a wrecked place), when their lease is up, do I have to go through the eviction process (Incase they just decide to squat), or is the process more favorable for me after the lease is up? Any google links on the subject of expired lease / how to get them out would be much appreciated.
