What do you do when your tenant “forgets” or refuses to pay rent?
Do you evict them immediately? Do you hire someone to nag them into paying rent? Do you find creative ways to shame them into either leaving your property or paying? Believe it or not, I’ve heard of landlords posting signs that say things like “Joe Bagadonuts” hasn’t paid rent in months! What a slacker!”
It sounds funny (and it kinda is), but rent collection can be a huge challenge for landlords – and a huge headache.
Now, I’m not suggesting you go down any of these roads if you’re a landlord struggling to collect, and your ability to evict really depends on certain laws in your area. But there might be a better solution for you.
One Quick Way to Automagically Collect Rent
This Tech Tip Friday lesson is for all you frustrated landlords out there, as you struggle with tenants who just won’t pay their rent on time – and in some cases, not at all!
With the new Landlords Rent Reminder Pro app – for Android only – you can send your tenants customized text reminders, right from your mobile device.
How It Works
Rent Reminder Pro is a one super smart application that is awesome for busy landlords like you, because (i) it’s easy to use, (ii) it’s inexpensive and (iii) it can help your tenants pay their rent on time. It’s ideal for letting agents and small landlords (by that I mean landlords with a minimal amount of properties – not landlords who are “vertically challenged”).
Here’s how it works:
-
Enter the tenant’s contact information, the date rent is due, and the day you want the text reminder sent.
-
The app will then send text messages to your tenant’s mobile phone automatically, depending on which reminder date(s) you set.
-
The app will even maintain Record of Payment and billing information for you.
It’s that simple!
And here are some additional benefits and features:
-
You can choose to send text messages automatically or manually, as needed.
-
You can edit and choose your own unique message format for each tenant.
-
You can input your own property list and backup every message you send.
Cost
Landlords Rent Reminder Costs just $7.63, which in my opinion is a small price to pay for ensuring that your tenants are reminded about the importance of your own personal paycheck.
