Built so rent collection runs itself — even when you're not watching.
Tenants set up autopay once and rent hits your account every month — no chasing, no excuses.
Automated reminders go out 3 days before and on the due date. Late payments drop significantly.
Set your grace period and late fee. VerticalRent calculates and charges it automatically — no awkward conversations.
Funds transfer directly from tenant's bank to yours. Secure, fast, and no credit card fees.
Every payment auto-generates a receipt for your tenant and logs to your income ledger instantly.
See all properties, all units, and all payment statuses at a glance — paid, pending, overdue.
Flat pricing beats percentage-based fees at any rent level.
