Chasing Rent is a Job You Hate
If you are still driving to pick up checks or waiting for "the mail," you are operating in the 1990s. Frictionless payment methods are the #1 way to reduce late rent.
This calculator shows you how simple changes—like moving to Auto-Pay and sending SMS reminders—can drastically reduce your delinquency rate.
The "Nudge" Theory of Collections
Most tenants don't *want* to be late; they just forget. A simple text reminder 3 days before the 1st ("Rent is due soon!") and on the 2nd ("Did you forget?") recovers 80% of late payments without a single phone call.
Training Your Tenants
If you waive the late fee "just this once," you teach your tenant that the due date is a suggestion. An AI Phone Receptionist and automated system enforce the rules impartially. "The system charges the fee automatically" is easier to say than "I am charging you."
