How Our Rent Collection System Works

No guesswork, no inconsistency. Every step is systemized so rent gets collected on time — every month, every property.

1

Automated Reminders Sent

Tenants receive automated reminders before the 1st. No chasing, no awkward texts — the system handles it.

2

Tenants Pay Online

Tenants log in to the resident portal and pay electronically via bank transfer or card — 24/7 from any device.

3

Late Fees Enforced

If rent isn't received by the grace period deadline, late fees are applied automatically. No favoritism, no negotiation.

4

Owner Gets Paid

Collected rent is deposited directly into your bank account with a clear monthly statement showing every transaction.

Now Available — Flexible Rent Payments

Tenants Pay in Installments. You Still Get Paid in Full.

Through our partnership with a dedicated payment platform, tenants can split their rent into smaller payments throughout the month. The key for owners: you receive the full rent amount on time, while the platform handles the collection schedule directly with the tenant.

  1. 1
    Tenant Makes First PaymentEligible tenants sign up for flexible payments directly through the tenant portal. They pay their first installment to the service provider at the start of the month.
  2. 2
    Get Paid You in FullWe receive the complete rent payment immediately from the provider, ensuring your cash flow is never interrupted by partial payments.
  3. 3
    Tenant AccountingThe tenant pays the remaining balance directly to the payment provider later in the month. You and SLPM are completely removed from the installment process.

Why Tenants Love Flexible Rent Options

Flexible payments give tenants financial breathing room — which means they're more likely to stay, less likely to fall behind, and more satisfied with their rental experience. SLPM is always working to reduce tenant churn and keep your rental property occupied.

Common Questions About Rent Collection

Tenants pay through the SLPM resident portal — a secure online platform where they can pay via bank transfer (ACH) or credit/debit card from any device, 24/7. They can also set up recurring auto-pay so rent is never missed.

If rent isn't received by the grace period deadline outlined in the lease, late fees are automatically applied. We then issue formal notices as required by California law. If the tenant continues to not pay, we escalate to legal proceedings and coordinate with attorneys on your behalf.

Collected rent is deposited directly into your designated bank account on a regular monthly schedule. You can track all deposits, deductions, and maintenance costs in real time through your owner portal.

Flex Rent allows tenants to split their monthly rent into smaller payments. SLPM pays the full rent amount on time, then collects from the tenant later in the month. There is zero cost to property owners — SLPM charges a small convenience fee directly to the tenant.

Yes. Your online owner portal gives you 24/7 visibility into rent payment status, transaction history, financial statements, and year-end tax documents — all accessible from any device.

Absolutely. We manage all security deposit collection, hold funds in compliance with California law (including AB 2801 requirements), and handle itemized disposition statements at move-out — protecting you from common legal pitfalls.
