How landlords use it
Letting from abroad
If you live away from the property, tenants still pay your IBAN. You mark each payment when it lands. SmartRent does not collect the rent for you.
Student Accommodation
University accommodation with 8 tenants. Each tenant sets up their share automatically, eliminating payment coordination hassles.
Questions
What payment methods do you support?
Bank transfer to the landlord is primary. Optional Direct Debit names the landlord as creditor. SmartRent does not vault cards for rent or hold client money.
What are the fees for payment processing?
Bank transfers are free. Card payments have a small processing fee (1.4% + €0.25) which can be passed to the tenant or absorbed by the landlord.
What happens if a payment fails?
The tenant is notified immediately via email and SMS. They can update their payment method and retry. After 3 failed attempts, you're notified to follow up.
Can I offer payment plans?
Yes! You can set up custom payment plans for arrears or deposits, with automatic instalments and tracking.
