How to set up recurring rent payments
Recurring requests put your tenant's rent on a monthly schedule. You set the amount, start date, and optional end date; RentSpree emails your tenant a reminder to pay each month and tracks every payment. The full payment schedule is visible and actionable in their RentSpree account, so they pay securely right there; no link required.
You may see a new option. Some accounts are testing a way to start from your lease and auto-fill the rent, dates, and tenant details. If you see it, upload your lease and review what's pulled in. Otherwise, follow the steps below.
How to set up recurring rent payments
From your property, select the Payments tab, then Set up payment.
Select Me if you're the landlord collecting rent. My Client is for an agent setting up payments on a landlord's behalf.
Choose the property, then your tenant from the dropdown. If they're not listed, add them here.
Select + Add payment, then set the payment type (Rent), how often (Monthly), amount ($3 to $10,000), start date, an optional end date (leave blank for month-to-month), and an optional note up to 50 characters.
To add a late fee, toggle on Enable late fee and set a grace period and fee type (flat amount or percentage). Late fee limits vary by state, so check your state's landlord-tenant laws and your lease terms first, then check the box acknowledging you're responsible for staying within them.
Fees and timing
A processing fee is deducted from each recurring payout. See all rent payment fees and when payments are deposited.
Changing a recurring payment
You can't edit a recurring request after sending. To change it, end the current one and create a new one.
Ending a recurring request stops all future payments immediately. Set up the new request before ending the old one to avoid a gap.
Once your request is sent, track it in payment statuses.
