Rent that collects itself
The most reliable way to get paid on time is to remove the monthly decision entirely. With AutoPay on, rent drafts on the due date written in the lease, so a late payment becomes the exception rather than the routine and a late fee is rarely needed.
How AutoPay works
- Tenants enroll once from the tenant portal
- Rent drafts automatically on the due date written in the lease
- Funds are deposited directly to the landlord — no paper checks
- Automated reminders go out to tenants who are not on AutoPay
- A receipt is issued when the payment settles, not when it is submitted
- Every payment posts straight to the accounting ledger
What it replaces
No chasing checks, no Venmo screenshots, no manual ledger entries, and no awkward "did rent go out?" text messages. Payment status is visible to both sides throughout, so nobody has to ask.
Frequently asked questions
What does AutoPay cost the landlord?
Nothing on top of the processing fee Seayora charges on rent collected, which is the same whether or not a tenant uses AutoPay. The current rate is on the pricing page, and paying from a bank account is free for tenants.
Do payments post to accounting automatically?
Yes. Rent payments sync directly into the accounting ledger, so the books stay current without manual entry.
