We're introducing the new Autopay to make your online rent payment experience better. You can set up recurring payments for your entire balance so you don’t have to worry about missing payments or late fees.


What's new?

Your full balance paid on time, every time

Previously, when scheduling payments, you could only include recurring charges. With the new Autopay, you can now include not only your rent and recurring charges but also incoming charges such as utilities and repairs due for the month. This means that you no longer need to track your bills or make separate payments for each expense, ensuring a smooth payment process.

Simplicity and flexibility

Setting up Autopay is a breeze, and we've also made it flexible to suit your needs. If you're part of a renter group, you have the option to split your payments equally among your co-residents or assign a specific percentage for each person. You can even choose which residents are responsible for making the payments.


How do you set up Autopay?

If not ALL paying residents have linked bank accounts, Autopay will not push through, and one resident must pay the full amount through Pay Now.

Overdue rent will also be included in your Autopay if applicable. If you have other overdue charges apart from rent, you can pay them through Pay Now.
