How do we compare?

Unlike Venmo or Zelle, TurboTenant is built for landlords, by landlords.

You’re running a business, not collecting money from friends.

Payment Limits »

Depending on your bank, Zelle can limit the amount of money your tenants can send to $1,000 per day or $5,000 per month. It puts a real damper on collecting a deposit and first month’s rent both at the same time.

Venmo charges small businesses, like landlords, a 1.9% fee for each transaction. You don’t need that cutting into your bottom line.

Ever worry that you’re sending money to the right person on Venmo? Mix-ups are common. And it’s especially risky when it’s a security deposit and first month’s rent ending up in a stranger’s account.

Come tax season, you don’t want rent payment line items alongside your friend paying you back for dinner.

Your tenants just paid you a lot of money. They deserve to know you got it.

Tired of remembering to send late fee charges? Want to offer your tenants a way to put their payments on autopilot? Venmo and Paypal don’t offer these services — we do.

Need accounting software that automatically syncs your transactions and rent payments? Ours is easy to set up directly in your account.

Online Rent Collection FAQs

How do landlords collect rent online from tenants?

Landlords can collect rent online by using property management software that supports digital payments. The best option is to sign up for a platform like TurboTenant, which accepts ACH transfers, credit cards, and debit cards. Tenants cover the processing fees, so landlords receive the full rent amount directly in their bank account—no deductions, no manual tracking.

Yes, online rent collection is safe (almost always safer than accepting cash or paper checks). Most systems utilize bank-level encryption and secure verification tools, such as Plaid or Yodlee, to protect sensitive banking information. Rent payments go directly to the landlord’s account without risk of theft, forgery, or loss in the mail. Digital records also help resolve disputes quickly.

Yes, many online rent collection platforms let tenants set up automatic monthly payments. With autopay, tenants can “set it and forget it,” ensuring rent is paid on time without reminders. This helps landlords collect rent consistently and reduces late fees. Bonus: it builds good payment habits that can improve a tenant’s rental history and credit through rent reporting.

Tenants typically pay all processing fees when using online rent collection tools. With TurboTenant, ACH payments are free for Premium users, while credit and debit card payments carry a 3.49% fee (paid by the tenant, not the landlord). This setup ensures landlords receive the full rent amount, fee-free, straight to their connected bank account.

Yes, landlords can accept partial rent payments online; however, not every platform supports this option. (TurboTenant does.) 

To enable partial payments, just log in, go to the Leases tab, edit the lease, and toggle “Yes” under the partial payments section. Enabling this feature will make it easy for roommates to split rent or for tenants to pay in smaller increments.

Online rent payments through TurboTenant arrive at different speeds depending on your plan and payment method. Free users typically receive ACH payments in 5–7 business days due to bank processing times. TurboTenant Premium users get faster, pre-funded payouts in 2–4 business days. Credit and debit card payments process even quicker, usually landing within 1–3 business days.

For more information, visit our “How Long Do Rent Payments Take to Process?” support page.

Yes, rent payments can be tracked automatically if your software supports it. TurboTenant keeps a detailed log of every payment (amount, date, status) and syncs with your dashboard in real-time. It even integrates with accounting and bookkeeping tools, helping landlords stay organized, spot late payments, and simplify year-end financials.
