How to set up recurring rent payments

Recurring requests send your tenant a payment link automatically each month. You set the amount, start date, and optional end date; RentSpree handles reminders and tracking.

Step 1: Open the Payments tab

From your property, select the Payments tab, then Set up payment.

Step 2: Choose who receives the payout

Select Me if you're the landlord collecting rent. My Client is for an agent setting up payments on a landlord's behalf.

Step 3: Select a property and tenant

Choose the property, then your tenant from the dropdown. If they're not listed, add them here.

Step 4: Add the recurring payment

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.

Add a late fee (optional)

Toggle on Enable late fee and set a grace period (days after the due date before it applies) and a 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 $3 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.
