Why You Should Set Up Mobile Rent Payments 

Collecting rent in-person might soon be a thing of the past. If you’ve been looking for the opportunity to modernize your rental business, mobile rent payments is the way to go.

But, it can be scary to move rent collection into the online space. However, setting up online and mobile rent payments can be beneficial for both tenants and landlords. You can save time, reduce face-to-face meetings, or simply go mobile and manage everything from your phone.

Everything is done from a phone

Almost anything can be done from that little device in the palm of your hand. And, most renters are also smartphone owners. It makes sense to set up a method of sending and receiving mobile rent payments for both tenants and landlords.

It doesn’t matter if you’re on-site or not

If you’re social distancing or long-distance, mobile rent payments are far easier to collect. From your RentRedi dashboard, you can see upcoming rent payments or late rent payments. You can easily keep track of everything in one place.

Tenants can pay from anywhere

If they happen to be away, staying with family, or traveling, tenants may wonder how they can pay their rent. However, with mobile rent payments, they can still open their RentRedi app and pay their rent for the month,

It makes accounting easier

When it comes time for your accountant (or yourself!) to review prior payments, mobile rent payments are easy to export right from RentRedi. Let’s face it, accounting isn’t always fun. But, not having to scramble or search through papers for payment history makes everything easier. 

You can accept partial or block mobile rent payments 

If you accept partial payments, mobile rent collection can be a good way to go. If you need to, you can even block payments. Especially if you live in a state where tenants can make partial payments to continue living in the rental. This is key if an eviction occurs and you want to prevent the tenant from submitting any payments and extending their stay.
