Can I choose installments that are not all the same size?
Yes, if your landlord offers it. You can start small and grow, start large and shrink, keep the payments small with one larger one at the end, or set every date and amount yourself. The total is identical whichever you pick — a shape decides when the money is paid, never how much.

Shaping the schedule
How OFTEN the installments fall and HOW THE BALANCE IS DIVIDED between them are two different questions, and both are yours to choose — within whatever your landlord offers.
- The same each time. The balance split equally.
- Smaller at first, growing. For a month that is tight now and better later — somebody going back to work in six weeks.
- Larger at first, shrinking. Pay more while you can and less later; it clears the balance faster.
- Small installments with one larger payment at the end. For money you know is coming.
- A schedule you set yourself, date by date and amount by amount. For an income that does not arrive on a cadence at all — weekly cash work, two things landing at different times. The installments still have to add up to the balance exactly, and Seayora shows you what is left to place as you type.
Whichever shape you choose, the total is identical. A shape moves money between dates; it never changes what is owed.
