Credit Card Rent Payments

Let tenants pay rent by credit card when they want that flexibility.

Some tenants prefer a credit card for convenience or timing. The important part is keeping the fee handling and ledger record easy to understand.

Credit card rent payments can be useful when a tenant wants flexibility beyond a bank transfer. They should not create confusion about the amount due, the processing fee, or what posted to the ledger.

HousingPanel keeps that cleaner by showing the balance, offering ACH and credit card, and keeping the payment history in the same running record as rent and fees.

Can tenants pay rent with a credit card?

Yes. Some tenants prefer a credit card for convenience, timing, or rewards, even when ACH is available too.

Who pays the credit card fee?

On HousingPanel, the tenant pays the 3% credit card fee while ACH stays free.
