Questions

Do tenants pay anything?

No. The tenant portal is completely free. Tenants pay rent through the app with no extra fees charged to them.

What's the setup fee for?

The one-time setup fee covers onboarding, data migration, and account configuration. It's paid once and never again — your monthly monitoring fee is the only recurring cost.

Are there contracts or lock-in periods?

No. RentRate is month-to-month with no contracts. Cancel anytime from your account settings — no cancellation fees, no penalties.

How does per-unit pricing work?

You pay based on the number of units in your portfolio. For example, if you manage 75 units, you'd be in the 51–200 tier at $2/unit/mo = $150/month. As you add more units, your per-unit rate drops automatically.

How do I get started with 1,000+ units?

Contact us for custom enterprise pricing. We'll tailor a plan to your portfolio size, migration needs, and support requirements.

When do I receive rent payments?

Rent payments go directly to your account. Funds settle within 2–3 business days via Stripe.
