The future of rent collection App

Written by Bricks | Mar 19, 2023 10:53:22 AM

The rent management app that replaces paper invoices

With Bricks’ leading management system, landlords and property owners no longer have to worry about issuing paper invoices.  Bricks’ new payment feature allows landlords to generate e-invoices from the Bricks web portal and send them automatically to Tenants. Tenants receive invoices through the Bricks Tenant app, where they can easily pay the rent.

Methods of payment

1- Credit/Debit

Tenants can easily pay online through credit or debit cards.  The Bricks rent collection app accepts Visa and Mastercard payments.  The payments are safe and secure and are immediately processed.

 2- Apple Pay

Because Apple Pay is a preferred payment option among Saudi Arabians, this option is now available to tenants.  Tenants can pay through their iPhones, Macs, or even through their Apple watches.

 2- Bank transfers

For those tenants who don’t prefer online payments, Bricks provides a different solution. Tenants can pay through transferring the rent amount to the landlord’s bank account.  After that, they have to upload a copy of the bank transfer statement to the tenant application and enter the amount paid.  Whether the tenants choose to pay online or through bank transfers, their payments are revised and approved by the financial department. 

The rent tracker app that allows landlords and tenants to track payments

Other than the feature of paying invoices online, landlords and tenants can also view and track their payments.

For tenants

  • Tenants can view all previous, current, and upcoming invoices on their app in PDF form.
  • Tenants receive notifications a month before the payment deadline
  • Tenants receive continuous reminders before a payment deadline
  • Tenants can track the status of their payments (paid/not paid, pending, approved)

For landlords

  • Landlords can track all active and upcoming invoices
  • Landlords can view tenants with completed/ uncompleted payments
  • Landlords can filter these views

The Bricks rent collection app and web platform not only allows rent collection, but also for a detailed and organized view of rent collection data.  

Bricks policies for tenants’ late payments 

What should a landlord or property owner do when a tenant fails to pay rent on time?  Some property owners cut off water and power supply; however, that is not ideal as it will leave your tenants feeling disgruntled and will take a toll on customer retention.  Bricks has another solution that will give you peace of mind and at the same time, sends a strong message to tenants urging them to pay the invoices. There are several policies and steps that landlords can apply even if they are abroad with the Bricks rent collection app. Note: these policies are subject to change according to the preference of landlords. 

Step 1- Disabling the visits feature 

Tenants are entitled to have as many relative visits and service visits per month as they like. However, they have to schedule those visits through the app 24 hours prior and get the security team’s approval.  This feature will no longer be available to tenants if they are late in paying their rent. 

Step 2- disabling the maintenance feature

Likewise, through the tenant app, tenants can schedule maintenance visits in the case of any issue that arises with plumbing, electricity, or even carpentry issues.  This is another feature and advantage that tenants lose when they fail to pay on time.

Step 3- disallowing Inside car parking 

Another privilege that tenants lose when they don’t pay on time is that they are no longer allowed to park their cars inside the community.  These are graded steps that will motivate tenants to pay on time; however, as a landlord, you have to make sure that tenants are informed of these policies beforehand.
